Bazyar's Entscheidung, den Roman nicht nach konventionellen Formen aufzubauen und zu erzählen, macht dieses Buch zu etwas ganz Besonderem. Es ist eindeutig eines der besten Bücher, die ich dieses Jahr gelesen habe. 
Voller Wucht und Dringlichkeit, aber auch gefüllt mit Sanftheit und Wärme zieht uns Bazyar unweigerlich in die Lebensrealitäten ihrer Protagonistinnen hinein. Innerhalb einer spannungsumworbenen Geschichte spricht sie Themen pointiert und nuanciert an, mal mit Leichtigkeit und Humor, mal mit Wut und Empörung. Sie konfrontiert die Leser*innen mit ihren eigenen rassistischen Gedanken und Verhaltensmuster und macht so deutlich, wieso solche Geschichten unglaublich relevant und wichtig sind. 
Ich habe mit den Figuren gleichermassen gelacht und geweint, mich gefreut und geärgert. So, als wären sie echte Personen aus meinem Freundeskreis gewesen.
Ich kann dieses Buch wirklich aus ganzem Herzen weiterempfehlen.
