I Love I Hate I Miss My Sister by Amélie Sarn
4.0
4.0 out of 5 stars
I liked that this book was short and really well done. First off, even though this was a translated book, it didn't feel like it. Also I like that it taught me about something I didn't know about. Lastly I think it really did the love/hate sister relationship very well.
I Love I Hate I Miss My Sister is a contemporary novel that focuses on the love/hate relationship that two sisters have for each other. Sohane starts to get more into her Muslim faith, while her sister Djelila starts to fall more out of her faith. But even as the sisters shift into different roles, their love is still there for each other. There are tense situations that rise throughout the book that cause Sohane to worry for her sister and lead her to make decisions for herself because of it. The tone and format of the book are interesting to read because they keep the reader wanting to figure out what happened since every other chapter references an incident that has yet to happen for the reader.
There are some harder to grasp ideas in this book and it is a chapter book, however since the chapters are not very long and the book is only 150 pages, I would say that this book could be good for any child middle school age or older, but that parents should be ready to answer some questions about religion that may come up as well as answering questions regarding ban on religious symbols that is mentioned in the book.
