It first started as a quick, easy, and fun read and quickly turned into a reflective piece on 2nd gen families, culture, identity, and roles we fall into. My hear breaks for Omar and I wish I got to hear more about how he is at the end of the book. I see a lot of my own self-sabatoging behavior in Amina and it felt very reflective towards the end…..isolation is not freedom
