3.75
this is more so a 3.75 maybe a four stars???
I will say this book is a bit better than the first one, and I really enjoyed the story that S.K. Ali chose. I also appreciated seeing Janna grow as a character, especially now that she is attending college. Some moments I relate to her in terms of figuring yourself in your character, relationships, and her sense of justice. I think Ali could be one of my favorite authors in general, but in regards to telling stories about being authentically Muslim, I'd say she is a favorite within that aspect without a doubt. It was nice seeing an adamzayneb cameo in the story as well (prob gonna reread their books).
