The Henna Wars

I really appreciated that all of the characters acted like realistic teenagers, and how they all had their own flaws. It was great seeing all of the family aspects and how close Nishat is with her sister. There was also some great character development, not only in Nishat but in her parents as well. It really showed how parents aren't perfect either, and how with more information someone is given on a certain topic, their opinions can change. I absolutely flew through this book, and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a light read!
