Iran

Iran is a nation steeped in religion and culture, and those things guide its politics and laws. The book is spent in the middle and upper class of Tehran, for the most part. People live comfortably but there is always the threat of danger if someone does not follow the rules. In the very beginning of the book, Farizan has a scene in which Sahar watches a video of two gay men being publicly executed. All the expensive parties and western pop culture can not erase that image from her mind.

Sahar's and Nasrin's bedrooms

The bedrooms, both Sahar’s and Nasrin’s, are the only places that the girls can be themselves. They are safe places. With the music turned up, they can say what they want to say and be as intimate as they wish.
