The Pact We Made by Layla AlAmmar

5.0

A beautiful debut book. I really enjoyed feeling familiarity within its pages, the khaleeji spirit echoes throughout the story. I rarely ever get to read a book that takes place near where I grew up so this was a pleasant journey. Additionally, AlAmmar reflects on the deep cultural flaws within our societies sensitively and thoughtfully. Many fantastic quotes can be taken from this, although I can't remember any. This book has inspired me to create a shelf for re-reading!
