One of the best coming-of-age stories ive read in a while. It was a bit slow in the beginning but I thought that matched Dua's attitude towards her family, warming up as the story continues
As a non-Muslim I never felt lost, or confused about the traditions of Ramadan, but the reader isn't spoon fed everything going on either.

Cute, but romance is way too high in the genres in my opinion. Almost nonexistent. Reads kind of young, but could probably be super meaningful to young Muslim readers. Happy Ramadan!
