Oh. My. God. That’s my first thought finishing this book.
That being said, y’all, please make sure that you’re in the proper headspace before diving into this book and look at the triggers because Tahir does not hold back.
Tahir shows once again that she is a masterful storyteller by crafting a beautiful plot that is raw and visceral while intertwining the lives of three characters (Noor, Salahudin, and Misbah) that you can’t help but root for.
At so many points, I just needed to sit with the heaviness of Tahir’s words and the pain that is known all too well when it comes to BIPOC. That’s not to say that this story isn’t without hope, but this is the story that so many young folks of color need to see on page.
So many parts of this book held up a mirror to my own experiences in life, which I really wasn’t expecting. That being said, this is definitely the story that I needed.
