This book got very good reviews, but it was too slow-paced for me and dragged. Amina, a young woman from Bangladesh, and George, an American living in Rochester, meet online and marry. Once settled in the United States, Amina’s goal is to have her parents relocate here before she starts having babies. Although it doesn’t seem that she married just for citizenship, Amina’s true feelings aren’t clear nor how much she really cares for George. I wish the author had given more background on George’s earlier life, too. The book had a strong start and then just went nowhere. Even after the author had Amina revisit a childhood crush, the plot drifted without purpose and was left unsatisfyingly unresolved.
