Sleep deprivation, stories-within-stories-within-stories and questionable romance come together to make up this engaging, Shahrazad-centric retelling of One Thousand and One Nights. The titular character is a teenager tasked with telling her new husband a story so good he\'ll spare her life just to make it past a cliffhanger (we\'re just grumpy that we don\'t get to hear much of that story ourselves). We fill in the blanks with a discussion of the novel\'s sometimes questionable approach to girl power and plenty of reminiscing about the role of storytelling in our lives.
