Book Review: Girls of Riyadh

Book Review: Girls of Riyadh
By Rajaa Alsanea

The Girls of Riyadh caused waves in the Middle East when Alsanea released this revealing look into four young women and their quest for love and marriage. The book tells the stories of four girls through a series of emails. From the outgoing to the passive, these four girls band together to try and find love, play by the rules and laws of their society while figuring out men, love and most importantly, what they will settle for and what they won’t.

Basically, the book is chick lit set in the Muslim/Islam world, so if you like chick lit as well as learning about women in other parts of the world, you’ll enjoy this book.
