This book's rating maybe suffered a bit in my mind since it followed a real heavy non-fic listen in my rotation, so take this review/rating with a grain of salt. My rating has nothing to do with the topics addressed (it does have some excellent commentary on racism and Islamophobia), nor the characters themselves - I just never super connected to this book. Ahmed does great story line within a story line, however, and those little nuggets kept me intrigued enough to finish.
