This book was so incredible. It is the closest thing to young adult literary fiction that I’ve ever read. I loved Salahudin, Noor and Misbah so much and I found my heart breaking over and over again along with theirs as each hardship passed. This is a story about trauma, but it is also one about love and hope. Every word it was a masterpiece.
