Admittedly I saw some spoilers of the book but that didn't stop me from enjoying it so much
It's very well written and the Indonesian translation actually did it justice, and it was a page turner from start to finish. It gave me many mixed emotions in a good way. The dark moments were dark and tense, but the romantic moments between Salama and Kenan were so wholesome and whimsical and it makes me smile a lot while reading.
It's just a really good book, I highly recommend 🍋

As long as the lemon trees grow, hope will never die. This book has planted a seedling in my heart, and I am willing to see it grow.
-------------------------------
Now that it's been a few days, I'm ready to go into more detail on why I liked this so much. The characters all had strengths and flaws, grew and developed. There was no sugarcoating of what it means to live in a war zone.

This book is about the reality of living in a war zone. There is no sugarcoating what that means, and does to people. But that's why I think reading it is so important.ohilucy's review against another edition
