Elhillo explores what could have been by going into the past. Nima's afraid she's disappearing, but maybe she just needs to confront what got her to where she is. There are gorgeous lines in this book, and you're sucked in right from the beginning.

Oh my gosh, this book is so good. Full of emotion, the story of Nima and seeing the possibilities of what if things happened differently is so amazing. Nima is the daughter of an immigrant whose father died before she was born, but often she wishes and dreams she is Yasmeen, the daughter her mother may have had if her father hadn’t died. In her wishes she invited a jinn or spirit, and together they travel to photograph and witness history that lead to Nima being the daughter born.
This book is so lovely and wonderful and emotional. I love the exploration of choices and history and how we are shaped by the past but we have to be careful about being wholly defined by it. This was a quick read, but absolutely worth every tear it made me shed.
