Thanks to BookishFirst and Penguin Teen for a copy of this book!
Nothing less than five stars. This book was incredible from start to finish. I found myself loving, hating, crying, smiling… it struck me with its depth, beauty and despair.
Tahir’s writing was exceptional. She was vague in all the right spots and specific in others. She knew exactly how to write this book and it showed in her prose. Truly beautiful!
I love Noor and I love Salahudin. Their story is beautiful and lovely. And their lives are so depressing. It’s rough reading this book but it’s all completely worth it. Please go read it! You won’t regret it.
There are content warnings: child abuse, assault, racism. It could be very triggering for some people, but I also believe it’s a book that people should read - that we should all read. This is going to be one of the greats, I just know it.
