the end part about her taking off her hijab was not necessary. Even though I understand it is to prove a point made earlier on in the book, the author didn’t need to do it. It is something that white people do a lot in their books when the depict a nonwhite person, it wasn’t necessary for the plot or the characters’ relationship.
