Do you like to read a review with a spoiler or not?
I don’t like spoilers, but sometimes… when a book is too boring to enjoy, too complicated to follow, or… too bold to imagine, I take the shortcut and try them.
But, when I write a review, I try my best to keep it spoiler-free. At the end of the day, what’s the point of giving away the story instead of encouraging others to read it? Most dishes served on golden plates, are not really filling, right?
Have you ever heard the phrase “my mortal enemy”?
Well, that’s the title of the book I’ve just finished.
Some people curse their lives, blame others for their misfortune, and regret their choices. They begin to believe that the closer the person is, the more likely they are to become an enemy.
Things happen when, for example, a friend turns against you, or when someone you trusted becomes the cause of problems rather than the solution.
But, what about your inner selfish self, your bitter self that starts all the dilemmas? Could they be your mortal enemy?
Some stories make you think twice before taking sides with any character, because the morals they give are not always true.
So, as we say in Arabic: don’t say Amen to whatever others say—remember to use your brain!
With hope and peace,
Nahla
