challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

4.25

This booked fucked me up in ways I didn’t expect by tapping into emotions and experiences I thought I had buried.

Considering his education and accolades it is no surprised that Mohsin is a gifted writer and storyteller. Every page drips with authenticity and honesty, I didn’t feel that any moments were embellished or overplayed.

The pacing was spot on and despite him being fairly young, the ‘arc’ of the book felt organic and earned.
