Also a smaller spoiler but the whole "Isram" thing feels incredibly out of place. Like this book references real life cultures and bigotry so many times but she felt the need to create a whole new place which is obviously just there as a stand-in for like any "Arab" country? Just feels like it was made specifically so that these short parts of the book had a sort of fictionalized cloak on them while leaving everything else largely realistic (in terms of cultures) for reasons unknown to me.

I liked the book, but every time I came across racism (it was towards my people too) I contemplated not finishing it.
the writing style was good but i skipped over so many paragraphs cuz it got so slow and boring sometimes. I dont really care to read three paragraphs on what a tree looks like.
other than that, it was a good book. It actually made me shed a few tears.
