The main interesting aspects to me (Palestinian heritage + relationship with their mother + the instances of Islamophobia/ acism & Zionism she faces) had very little space in the book.
Also I do think her outing that woman was unforgivable and I Hate Hate Hated that that (trigger warning) literal rapist white guy at The Lodge is, if anything, forgiven/absolved by the narrative.

This would have been five stars, but it is possible to be too raw, and this teeters the line. There is a lot going on, like in life, and it is hard to grasp what the meaning is of a particular chapter. I also found the treatment center confusing, with predictable characters and dialogue. Still I loved the unconventional structure and will be thinking about this book for a very long time.
