This book feels like a warm hug. I felt drawn in from the first chapter and I was rooting for all the characters. My heart broke at some of the sections, and I felt myself trying to will the characters into making different decisions. The eye-opening experience of Muslim women was wonderful to read about 'first-hand'. All this being said, my favourite thing about this book is that nothing was explicitly thrown in our faces: a lot came from what wasn't even said. Well well done. Really solid read.
