This story was beautiful, devastating, haunting, raw, captivating,,,, and and and,,,, I finished this book in a couple hours, only pausing to come home from the beach and shower. I do think the writing style and structure of the book was really interesting and it is very different from the structure of what I usually read. I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did, but I don’t think I could read many books like this at once— they’d have to be sprinkled in here and there. Overall I really enjoyed this and look forward to whatever Fatima Asghar writes next.
