This excerpt starts with a flashback to a teenager getting married to a man her family picked for her and praying he’ll be a kind man.
Then it immediately flashes to the present day. We meet a teenage boy,Sal, going to high school. His dad is drunk, driving him to school. His mother is sick. He has a white girlfriend that he knows his parents wouldn’t approve of. He’s fighting with his best friend Noor. Noor confessed that she was in love with Sal months earlier and he shot her down.
Noor works in her uncle’s liquor store. She wants to go to college but she knows he expects her to stay and keep working for him. She feels like she owes him because he literally saved her life.
This was very well written. It immediately pulled me in. I had to stop reading because I was already quite invested in the story and I knew it was going to stop.
I, definitely going to want to read this book!
