I was not sure how Etaf was going to be able to follow up "A Woman is No Man," but she did it again! Yara's struggles with familial and childhood trauma, mental illness, learning to love oneself, and trusting others were truly excellent. I heard Etaf speak about her book at a local bookstore and she said Yara was not going to be a likable character, and I fell in love with her. A truly wonderful book. Add it to your TBR!
