This was really good! I liked reading about Dua and Hassan's story. I feel like I learned a bit about the Muslim culture and a bit about Islam as well. I like how Dua founded herself over the time she spent with her family over Ramadan. You can truly see how she changed her views toward her culture. I liked all the side characters, they were all great. I love the bond Dua ended up forming with all of her family before she left. Overall this book was a very enjoyable read, a bit heavy at times but it was great.
