I loooved this book. It was such a cute and enjoyable read.
The MCs were so endearing, and I loved Said's sister and need her to be my spirit character.
One thing I appreciated was all the cultural and religious references, and how acurate they were. I mean, there's something about a great book by Muslim authors that just hit different. 

I loved seeing Tiwa and Said navigating life, family situations and their relationship. It just unfolded so naturally. And the center point of it all being them trying to save the Islamic Center was just sooo appropriate here.

I ended up doing the audio for this one and I definitely loved it. I'd recommend it for my audio people out there !

Thank you NetGalley, Usborne Publishing and the authors for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.
