I wanted so badly to like this book. But I just couldn't get through it. Someday, someone will write a fiction about a book club in Tehran, and it will be full of the excitement and recklessness of defying a tyrannical government. The women will touch us with their heartwarming connections to each other, and they will challenge us to be braver and more devoted friends. Only then will these women's story be truly honored.
