Absolutely brilliantly beautiful. A powerful reflection on friendship, love, and faith - all explored with a depth and consideration I'm not used to in books. Definitely check the content warnings before reading, but know that it's all handled really well and none of it is gratuitous.

These Invisible Things was our book club pick for February. It follows 3 young Muslim women who are navigating post grad life.

This book tackles interfaith relationships, family dynamics, & female friendship. I really enjoyed the conversations this book brought up in our book club & it was refreshing to learn about a new culture and religion.

Major trigger warnings for abuse. Each chapter is from the POV of a different friend & how they are navigating their situation. This felt like a poignant coming-of-age story.
