I was so happy to read this deep dive into a Muslim community in a small New England town, filled with so much love and care for each other. I feel like my only critique is the fact there wasn’t MORE of this wonderful world. More of the cat, more about Ms. Barnes, Tiwa’s ambitions that lead her to Columbia (which is incredible). The book moved pretty quickly and the switch between past & present meant that some events were unfortunately left out. But everything that was included was so important and this was such a fun adorable read. Had me giggling and kicking my feet over messy high schoolers!!!! Love love love
