Trigger Warnings: Islamophobia, Xenophobia

Huda and her family just moved to Dearborn, Michigan, a small town that has a big Muslim population.

I read this in one setting, it’s a fast read but still has a lot of information about growing up Muslim in America. The author notes at the beginning that though, “much of this story is based on real life, it’s not an entirely autobiographical tale”. There were a few events mentioned in the book that I remember a version of it making national news.

I did feel like the ending was a little rushed and I kind of wish there were maybe a few more pages, but other than that I really enjoyed it and will still suggest and recommend this book in the future.
