I felt that this book had some problems, but nothing that couldn’t be overlooked by the overall enjoyment I had while reading. There were small hiccups in the beginning, and the characters didn’t feel right, but as the story continued, the quality increased. I am left with a bit of dissatisfaction of the relationship in this book because it didn’t feel quite right, but by the end, I was satisfied. The real reason why I gave it 4 stars was because it made me angry. The way the characters and their actions were portrayed made me feel angry, making me want to stand up for the MC, Nashat. The book did a wonderful job portraying the hardships of being outed and being different than everyone else.
