A review by kricketa
I Love I Hate I Miss My Sister by Amélie Sarn
4.0
a muslim teenage girl living in france mourns her sister, who was brutally murdered. i thought the writing was really lovely, and the way sarn writes about sohane's decision to wear a hijab was so well handled.
as a comparison, in 2007 i read a book called "does my head look big in this" by randa abdel-fattah, about a teenage girl who decides to start wearing a hijab. if you want, you can read the review here:

i feel like "i love i hate i miss my sister" does everything i wish that book had done, without the babbling didacticism, and in a way that inspires the reader to think more about the topics being written about instead of having one opinion forced down their throat.
