This is a story that needs to be told. Sabaa takes you inside the life of two young teens who have had a rough upbringing. It’s not at all a fantasy like Sanaa’s previous books, but it pulls you in just the same.
Right from the start you feel for the characters. You see the hardships they are experiencing and you feel their pain with them. It’s a sad reality but it’s also a harsh reality that many people face each day. Sabaa brings this reality to the forefront; she tackles the hard topics that are normally shied away from. She brings your attention to the reality of drug abuse, alcoholism, sickness, death, and broken relationships. I also appreciate that she put a content warning at the start of the book.
Sabaa has a beautiful writing style. The story flows well from one section to the next. Each character is unique and their personalities come through clearly, right from the start.
I look forward to reading the rest of this book.
