The Weight of Our Sky by Hanna Alkaf
5.0

Hard read, but very worth it. A 16 year old girl with OCD navigates the 13 May 1969 violence in Kuala Lumpur. Part of her OCD is imagining her mother's death, which is how the book begins, so she has violence already in her mind and has to endure it in reality.
