I Love I Hate I Miss My Sister by Amélie Sarn

5.0

I know you aren't supposed to judge a book by it's cover, but I definitely did when I first picked this book up. I was expecting a trivial teenage drama about two sisters growing apart as they get older that I would've enjoyed in sixth grade but not today. I was very wrong. This is a story that I will continue to think about long after reading and it deeply moved me. I think that the number and varying magnitude of struggles within this book-- struggles within a family, a community, a school, a religion, and an individual-- are relatable to any audience, and the representation makes it even more relatable. I was already very moved while reading, but the fact that this book is based on a true story is even more devastating. I am continuously moved by those who continue to stand for what they believe in, despite conflict from their families and communities, and this story is greatly important. This book covers lots of sensitive topics that are important to talk about, and I think it's a must-read for everyone.
