This is a difficult coming of age story. Two Muslims who grew up during the real rise of Islamophobia in America and immigrated there during that time. It's a hard read about the realities people face. I really enjoyed this book, although it was hard to stomach at times.

Very surprised by this book. I had no assumptions going in, not really sure what it was about but once I got past the goat sacrifice in the first chapter I was absolutely hooked.
