Gritty and heart-breaking, this book discusses all the ways that life can hurt us and try to break our spirits. It serves as a reminder that we have to remain strong, fight another day, push through the hard things even when it doesn’t feel like we can. This book touched me to my core. I connected with Noor and her love for songs and with Salahudin and his love of words. They tell a story that is devastating yet real and show how love can conquer the demons that plague us.

5.0

This book is an amazing read. I wish I could hand it to those in my life who seem to think that people just need to work harder and pull themselves up by their boot straps. I cannot even imagine having to make the decisions Sal had to make as a teenager/high school senior in the wake of his mother's death. And that's reality for a lot of kids in this country. I found this book heartbreaking at times and at other times I wanted to throw it across the room. By the end I was hopeful though.
