Winner of the Lambda Literary Award for LGBT
Children’s/Young Adult. This Forbidden Romance Could Cost Them
Their Lives. Seventeen-year-old Sahar has been in love with her
best friend, Nasrin, since they were six. They’ve shared stolen
kisses and romantic promises. But Iran is a dangerous place for
two girls in love--Sahar and Nasrin could be beaten, imprisoned,
even executed. So they carry on in secret until Nasrin’s parents
suddenly announce that they’ve arranged for her marriage. Then
Sahar discovers what seems like the perfect solution:
homosexuality may be a crime, but to be a man trapped in a
woman’s body is seen as nature’s mistake, and sex reassignment
is legal and accessible. Sahar will never be able to love Nasrin
in the body she wants to be loved in without risking their
lives, but is saving their love worth sacrificing her true self?
Characters: 29. Amazon rating: 4 stars. Genre: Young Adult.
