This book hits hard with the manipulation, physical and mental abuse and homophobia from her parents. I feel for anyone who lives this and has to hear this kind of bigotry all the time.
I liked the cultural aspects of the book.

Rukhsana is a high school senior, looking forward to heading off to college in California with her girlfriend. The problem is being gay is against her family's Muslim beliefs, and when her parents catch her with her girlfriend, all hell breaks loose.
Rukhsana's story really resonated with me, and I feel like anyone who is has experienced or is anticipating religious backlash when coming out could relate to this book.
