wholesome overall, but it felt like it was written for a middle grade audience. maybe it's because it's the author's first book (as far as i know). everything that happened felt like it came out of nowhere. I don't know why dua and hassan like each other. there is almost no chemistry between them and they don't even have much screen time together to develop their relationship. everything was rushed. it's a nice book with nice ideas but could have been done better.
Graphic: Gun violence, Hate crime, and Islamophobia
Minor: Ableism
