Daughters of the Nile by Zahra Barri
Did not finish book. Stopped at 12%.
This is one of those books where the synopsis sounds right up my alley, with everything I love in a litfic. But the execution fell flat for me. Nadia’s chapters were unbearable with the amount of mundane details, telling over showing, and ultimately I couldn’t continue after she assaults TWO PEOPLE. Not disclosing your STI and not using protection when you are contagious is assault and I had no desire to read this book afterwards
