This book took me on a trip to Doha, Qatar and on the plane ride over, I got to see a budding meet-cute between Zayneb and Adam. What brought them together was a journal and continuous meetings. However, along the way, we learn that Adam has the same MS diagnosis his mother had before her passing. Zayneb helps Adam deal with this new diagnosis, along with dealing with hateful people in her life and how to stand up/become an activist. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more by S.K. Ali 💜

i. love. this. book. SO. much.

i love the fact that i can swoon over a fictional men who my mom would approve if he was real. i love that us muslim girls get a right representation because yes, we do think about guys; holding his hands, hugging him when he's sad even though we know we can't. i love how passionate zayneb is with all the things she did for justice. i love respectful adam is despite the fact that he wants zayneb so bad, and you don't understand how happy i am when adam said he's praying fajr outside (giggling and kicking my feet cs the other fictional men i know would never).

i love how zayneb is 'water' to adam because that's what she is; she's what made adam whole and being near her brings him life. ♡
