Review: Nothing Like the Description

I was extremely disappointed when reading this book. From the description, I was expecting and hoping to read a fictional story which formed a social commentary about the pain women have to deal with after being raped, particularly women in the Middle East, where rape is seen as being the woman's fault. The whispers and comments I expected to be the focus of the book were found on a grand total of four pages. The rest of the book was an odd mix of a rushed romance story and a drama about a woman using deceit to further her career at the expense of another. Even more out of place was the main male character going completely insane near the end of the book, though all of the characters seem to view his extreme and illegal actions as being perfectly ordinary.I feel that comments do need to be made on the horrors rape survivors face. I'm sad to say that, despite the description, those comments cannot be found here.
