Keeping in view Shahab's reputation as a man of integrity and a Sufi, one can say that, in the words of Mark Twain, he mainly told the truth but there were things that he stretched.

I cannot say for sure whether it mars the image of a writer when the bits of fact in his or her autobiography sound like fiction, but I am positive that when bits of fiction sound like facts, it shows the writer's enviable command over the craft of story-telling. “NOTHING I have said is factual except the bits that sound like fiction,” said Clive James in his Unreliable Memoirs.

The thing is they are kind of crazy, and not the fun kinda crazy, but the you'll-Need-therapy-the-rest-of-your-life kind of crazy. Bared to You is the story of Eva and Gideon, two very beautiful, filthy rich people that fall madly in love. But I must clarify that I really liked both books. Just when I was starting to miss fifty a little, Bared to you came out promising to be a substitute for FSoG. Then I went into an emotional detox and started listening to paranormal romances for a few weeks. I listened to the Fifty Shades trilogy twice back to back.
