When a 16 year old Jodie with facial deformities and an alcoholic abusive mother accuses 4 Muslim boys of rape the nation is divided. Rape counsellor Zara who is also a Muslim takes on Jodie’s case but faces the wrath of her family and community. In a case of he said/she said is Zara really on the truth’s side?
Take it back by Kia Abdullah is a powerful courtroom drama dealing with racial and social injustice. Hard to put down this is one emotional , compelling read that makes you think and kept me guessing till the very end
I would like to thank St. Martin’s Press & NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest and fair review.

What a heart wrenching story. Left me with a lot of thoughts. The author did a spectacular job with the story in regards to how powerful and nuanced it is. But what a sad sad story

I absolutely loved it!! I thought it was well written, the characters are well developed and the storyline seems real. Having worked doing something vaguely similar to Zara I found the whole story interesting and complex. There's just one detail that doesn't add up for me at the end, but I won't give any spoilers.
