This book is on the verge of 5 stars for me. The characters are beautifully written, widely diverse, realistic teenagers. With the format of a sweet rom-com, this book could easily be a stepping stone for young-adult readers to delve into learning about Islamophobia and standing up for their beliefs in safe, productive ways, while also getting to read a cute book about falling love, friendship, school, family, and some of the hardships of the real world. I remember being an impassioned teenager and young adult who was angry like Zayneb, angry and wanted to see the world change and be a better place immediately. This is a must read, and I hope to get to read more of Z and A's story again!
