Wow. What a book. I love it. Very cute story about Nishat. Her little love story is so cuuuuute. Love how Nishat is so close with her sister. I also like the way this book shows appropriation and racism in every day life. I think that’s a great thing to show our teens so they understand the implications of their actions.

Note, I do wish the deadnaming in Chapter 33 could be fixed for future prints of this book. For now, I scribbled it out and fixed the name.
