What a wonderful debut! As a non-Jewish person, I thought this was such a fun and informative perspective. Tally embodies a lot of under-represented identities in YA and hopefully will pave the way for many more. I’m not Israeli, Palestinian, or Jewish (and don’t consider myself well informed about the conflict), but from an outside perspective I thought Haley handled the nuances of the conflict well throughout while acknowledging that there are lots of other perspectives besides American Jewish ones, especially Palestinian ones, to listen to. A really enjoyable, well-rounded read!
