Normally I would call a book like this beautiful but I think Ahmed makes the point that his art is often grotesque and dark. His art style combined with the very challenging and emotionally complex stories he is retelling makes for a really thoughtful and provoking read.

Moderate: Child death, Death, Violence, Suicide, Racial slurs, and Police brutality
Minor: Sexual violence and Sexual harassment
