Simply put, it's a beatiful memoir of both Fatima and her mother.

dark emotional inspiring sad fast-paced
So badly wanted to rate this book higher, as I loved Fatima’s chapters retelling her version of her own story, as a memoir should be. But I could not get past the chapters written/read by her mother. Often her point of view was conflicting to Fatima’s, or her trying to justify choices she made that hurt Fatima. It felt like a cheap shot for her mother to use Fatima’s passing as a moment to get her own spotlight, rather than just letting Fatima have her full memoir postmortem. It’s worth listening to, but ultimately wished her mother did not participate.
