I loved Etaf Rum's writing so much!


There is something disturbingly therapeutic about this book, I loved and hated these characters so much...


Except Isra, I want to wrap her tightly into a hug and tell her mind is so beautiful 😭


But in all seriousness, y'all really pick this book up if you want to be confronted by generational trauma in the most painful but beautiful way possible.
