Funny and tragic, a novel about the lives of the young people of Saudi Arabia - a world that up to now has been a mystery

Gamrah’s faith in her new husband is not exactly returned .

Sadeem is a little too willing to please her fiance .

Michelle is half-American and the wrong class for her boyfriend’s family .

While Lamees works hard with little time for love.

The girls of Riyadh are young, attractive and living by Saudi Arabia’s strict cultural traditions. Well, not quite. In-between sneaking out behind their parents’ backs, dating, shopping, watching American TV and having fun, they’re still trying to be good little Muslim girls. That is, pleasing their families and their men.

But can you be a twenty-first century girl and a Saudi girl?
