This book started a little slow for me. I was more than 50% finished with the book before the main point started coming together and then the pace moved quickly in a good way. The last part took a turn I never saw coming. I was so close to DNFing this book but I’m very glad that I didn’t. The ending has a beautiful gem that resonated with me.

Dit boek had exact dezelfde liefde voor en door het geloof als As long as the lemon trees grow. 
Even mooi geschreven, even goede slow burn, even veel liefde.
Dood mooi

It was good, but definitely way heavier than what I was anticipating. It felt depressing at times, but the writing itself was great and I especially loved how culture was at the forefront.

For me, this book felt like too much. I think Noor describes their situations as winning the “shit lottery” and it really did feel like that. The power of the book was diluted by so many different topics - disease, grief, domestic violence, addiction, poverty, racism, Islamophobia, sexual assault, isolation, incarceration, and on and on. It was beautifully written and poignant but it felt like the cracks of hope weren’t big enough for the light to shine through.

An emotional detailing of the failures and struggles of the American Dream: immigration issues such as racism, poverty, and missing relatives' deaths back home; generational trauma haunting you; coming to a land of promise only to see its ugly underbelly, with broken and cruel systems. It tackled a lot of topics but in an incredibly realistic and sympathetic way. Every book like this I read pushes me father left.

The ending was so touching and made me think of

Spoiler

a quote: "little children, love one another," which I thought was from Little Women but is apparently from the bible lol
