I really appreciated the Jewish #OwnVoices perspective and loved reading a story about a Jewish family that was full of joy and love and fun. I’m not Muslim so I can’t comment on the accuracy of Tarek’s representation— I know some folks have issues with the frequent depiction of Muslims who don’t follow the laws & customs of the religion and that others appreciate characters that reflect their experience with adherence in varying & complicated degrees.
What I can comment on is that I loved seeing a love interest with a chronic skin condition like eczema! As a life-long psoriasis-haver, it’s not often that I see other folks with shitty painful itchy irritated skin represented and have it be a part of them, not vilified or romanticized. So like, more of that please!
I’m not going to be shouting about this book from the rooftops, but it was a good time! Would recommend if you’re looking for something heartfelt, thoughtful, romantic, and sweet!
