Best of Friends by Kamila Shamsie
3.0
I enjoyed the first half of the book which is based on two teenage's
friendship and experiences in the late 80s in Pakistan.
A time when Pakistan dictatorship comes to an end and a women comes to rule.
Maryam and Zahra are an unlikely pair, but somehow their friendship works. That is until decades later, when different ideologies and decisions made threatens their once solid friendship.
It was the second part of the book, when Maryam and Zahra are adults, that totally threw me. It felt like I was reading a completely different story with two new characters. There was no flow and the storyline was underwhelming.
The first half of the book was a solid 4 or even 4.25, but unfortunately the second half brought my rating down.
