“Muslims have always been politicians’ distractions, to cover the lost promises they were unable to keep. They use the war on terror and justified invasions of bled bodies stretching from Yemen to Pakistan because they want to create fear.”

what a beautiful, powerful novel! this is definitely a favorite for the year. i think that even if you don’t typically read young adult novels, you will enjoy this one

this is about the pain and terror that is created when your religion is used against you, to sow hatred and fear, to undermine your existence. this is about the complicated nature of learning to embrace your power, your voice, your generational gifts. the way our communities embrace us, uphold us, show us who we are

and it’s a young adult novel with no love storyline!!
