Behind You Is the Sea by Susan Muaddi Darraj

3.5

There were parts of this book that I enjoyed and there were also parts that I struggled to get through. Chapter 7 “Eating Lentils” has a character with an eating disorder that features prominently. I also felt like there were so many characters that a lot of them have storylines that don’t feel resolved
