The book contains lots of REVELATION! (sadly for me I've already known about it because well people love to spoil other's experience of a book). But, even after I knew the spoiler not for once I was bored or anything. I was totally intrigued and hooked with the story from starting to the very end.
The characters, the chemistry between Aaron and Juliette, Kenji and Juliette's friendship, the shocking revelations, the Worldbuilding🤌— Tahereh Mafi did it Again!!!
I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!!

“Aaron and Ella” WHAT??
First of all I love this book, I just got so overwhelmed with what’s going on.
Aaron and Kenji‘s relationships development, they are getting close! Juliette? Or should I call her Ella? She’s the hottest for shaving her head to match with his beloved hehe.
“Your Regent Warner speaks seven languages.”
“You speak seven languages?” Juliette says, touching my arm.
“Sometimes,” I say quietly.
Last but not least, Nazeera yall? I love her.
“Men,” she says, “are always so baffled by women’s clothing. So many opinions about a body that does not belong to them. Cover up, don’t cover up”—she waves a hand—“no one can seem to decide.”
I suppose to rate it 5 star but no for the ending and Lena.
