This book is gorgeous, and inspires change on a level that is, easy for regular people to do. However, it felt like a very slow starting intro. Despite this, it’s an amazing read and I truly recommend it!!!

A terrorist attack rocks Washington DC and despite the attack not being carried out by a Muslim, the assumption of his religion has devastating affects on the lives of 3 Muslim teens.
Sabriya has her summer all planned, but the terrorist attack changes everything for her. To deal with her thoughts and feelings she turns to writing an online journal to express herself. She never thought that her words would resonate with so many other Muslim teens, or that they would attack the level of hate she experiences from online comments.
As Sabriuya's words go viral, two more teens, Zakat and Farah, join forces with her to turn You Truly Assumed into a force to be reckoned with and a way for the voices of other teens to be heard.
As the friendship between the 3 teens grows, so does their strength and their determination to make a difference in shutting down the hate and Islaophobia that colours their worlds.
This books talks of experiences that I can never personally experience and it is all the more valuable for doing so.
This important book highlights the power of words, friendship and being true to yourself.
Thanks to Netgalley and Inkyard Press for the advanced copy of this book to review.
