Thank you to Netgalley and Recorded Books for an ALC of this one.
In the wake of a terrorist attack in DC, a rise in Islamophobia brings three Black Muslim teen girls together through the blog they start.
This was so good and the audiobook was--wow. With three distinct narrators, all of the POV characters really stood out to me. They were each so well-developed and original even though the book was highlighting many of their commonalities. The characters were definitely the best part for me.
I also loved that this had three separate storylines for each of the girls, but at the same time everything was connected through snippets of the blog and their facetime discussions with each other. I think this was done really well and it was also a unique way to write a book.
I also think this is dealing with really important issues and that a lot of people could benefit from reading--and will hopefully also enjoy themselves, because it is a truly spectacular book.
