Only a few chapters in, and this book is already leaving a mark on me.

So far, it’s a moving story about grief, inequality, and growing up feeling like an outsider. Through the eyes of a 17-year-old Muslim protagonist, it explores the subtle prejudice many people face every day.

Heartbreaking, thought-provoking, and already making me reflect.
