This book has my entire heart many times over!! You need to read it!! It is so full of the precise diaspora yearning I feel constantly and I will be recommending this book to everyone forever.

It's a story of love for a girl, for the homeland that was taken from us, and the dream that the world is so much bigger

a telenovela worthy coming of age dramedy all taking place in a phone call? this concept has me hooked already

the author told me that she wanted to write this because she loves YA thrillers but there aren't enough with south asian rep and i'm so proud and excited for her for giving us this gift

a ya romance with street racing and tragedy that feels like it's going to absolutely destroy me

Ciera Burch has a delightful way of making a ton of different elements give off the same energy making this story really well rounded.

Magical realism meet southern gothic about true love, the meaning of home, and the choices that haunt us? This sounds SO SO good!

They say that Palestinians teach life and I've learned so much from Ahed Tamimi. She's incredible and her story is full of life. I'm immensely impressed with the voice in this, it reads like a novel in the most positive way possible. It's approachable, honest, and sincere in the such a beautiful way. With freedom fighters like Ahed and all of us around the world I know Palestine will be free in our lifetime.

I'm far more interested in hearing about this topic from Palestinians but it was fine

Surprisingly captivating even in a time where I'm really struggling to read fiction

Incredible content but a little dry overall. Not enough to deter me, but just a note. Still highly recommend. from the river to the sea palestine will be free
