Jeez. What an emotional rollercoaster! I loved every bit of it though. It felt real and painful yet it was also full of hope and tenderness. The audio also makes it 10x better

I KNEW that Chachu was a piece of shit and actually didn’t want her. He implanted this whole saviour story in her head when really he called the entire world to find out who could take her off his hands. And wow, what happened to Sal was awful and I don’t blame him for not wanting to know since he clearly remembers in his body and the way that he hates touch. Also AMA’s 3 kids?? That’s so beautiful 😭 not the boy and the girl coming together as one to make the 3rd! So sweet.

A beautiful, raw story that's told so well! I went in not really knowing what it was about, and I appreciated that because it was an emotional read an an experience to read it without knowing what's next. Putting all of Sabaa Tahir's books on my TBR
