Title: The Syrian Virgin
Author: Zack Love
Heart Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥
Blurb:
Anissa is
traumatized by the most brutal conflict of the 21st Century: the Syrian Civil
War. In 2012, Islamists in Homs terrorize a Syrian-Christian community and
destroy everything that a young woman holds dear. Narrowly escaping death,
Anissa restarts her devastated life as a college student in NY. She is
bewildered and lost -- a virgin in every sense.
But despite her inexperience with men and life in the United States, Anissa is quickly drawn to two powerful individuals: Michael Kassab, the Syrian-American leader working to found the first Mideast Christian state, and Julien Morales, her Columbia University professor who runs a $20 billion hedge fund.
Complicating matters, Michael is still attached to his ex-girlfriend and Julien is the most sought after bachelor in Manhattan (and has hidden demons even his therapist can't extract). Anissa's heart and her communal ties pull her in different directions, as she seeks hope and renewal in a dark world.

Review:
This is the first time I am reading
a book by Zack Love. This is not my normal reading gene, but once I pick up
this book it was hard to put down until the finish. Even when it finish I was
still looking for some answer, that I hope will be in the second book.
This story of Anissa struggle from
her home country of Syria. Watching all that she loves destroy in front of her
and her struggle to escape of the war to go to the US. She becomes a college
student in New York, where she meets Michael online media and she also has some
feeling towards her professor Julian .Book was written with a lot what is going
on in the Middle East and what our feeling are towards it.
This book does end on a cliffhanger
with a lot of unanswered question. Why we have meet her family that is still in
Syria, what happens with them? Her best friend Maya?
Who will Anissa choose between her
admires Michael or Julian?
OVERALL IMPRESSION OF THE BOOK This
was a very well written book and I do highly recommend for everyone to read and
to enjoy. You will not be disappointment, you may even come away with some new
insight to the conflict going on around the world now.
