I loved the way rage played a part in this book, specifically through Noor. The building crescendo of it as we see all she has been through and put up with. Her ending was satisfying after all of that. Fuuuuuck her uncle, what a shit.
Salahudin’s rage was also interesting in how it played out. It felt more muted but still simmering in the background. When he talked to his dad at the end it broke my heart a bit.
Overall an excellent book that immediately gripped me.

I liked this a lot more than I like most YA, the reflections on loss, grief, anger, chosen family, immigration, love and faith were beautifully woven together through complicated, grieving characters. Besides the HS bully and the youthful and kind/calm Imam (have to keep some YA flatness/tropes) all the characters were more sympathetic and complex than I expected. I cried at the end. Would recommend!
