i enjoyed this but it wasn’t the best thing I’ve ever read. I liked rahat and imran a lot, I think they were great friends to have. i don’t know how to feel about the ending. the last 30 pages took a turn that I don’t think was reflected in the rest of the book? but I also get it? idk if nur is meant to be an unreliable narrator? asks many questions about racial hierarchy and racial bias which was super interesting and captivating.
