This is so beautifully written but it's written for shock and ridicule alone and its making me sick.
Who out here is acting like its a normal thing for Egyptian men to suck on their grandmother's breasts knowing its not for milk, but for the literary implications instead. I'm just tired of the fetishism.

Our fmc is so, so condescending towards the native Arab and is dehumanising towards a people she thinks shes part of. Imagine being shocked that someone has well-rounded dimensions to them because they're "street" and "a real arab".
Reminds me of Sciona from BOBH. I hate them both.
I genuinely don't think I can read another internalised racist book, Blood Over Bright Haven was enough. Thinking of DNFing.

So far, all I can think is either our narrator is unkind, or the author is unkind.

Iman Bruh idek it has such high ratings and all these white people read it and were like omg 😍 so avant garde 👏 so brave 👏 so raw 🤩 this is the modern arab!
And its just the author hating that she's Egyptian and hating that she's American in the grossest ways. I'm really hating it so far.
