I loved this book. The romance, the format, the family ties, the Muslim main characters. I didn’t know much about MS and I’m still learning about the Muslim faith so this book taught me a lot! I loved Zayneb’s passionate and fiery personality.
Oddity: Positive references to Harry Potter in a book about prejudice and hate crimes. Like, am I missing something? This book was published in 2019… how many trans people are dead now as a result of JKR’s TERF rhetoric?
If you like this book, I recommend:
- The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon
- Jackpot by Nic Stone
