Gamrah’s faith in her new husband is not exactly returned … Sadeem is a little too willing to please her fiancé … 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?
