I enjoyed this, but I think that to much was happening and none of it get wrapped up or flushed out. I appreciate the topics discussed in this, all of them being hard and difficult conversations, but half of them weren’t even concluded. This also just felt off to me? I’m not Muslim so I can’t speak on the 
Representation And the some of the  topics discussed, but it just didn’t seem All that well done to me. I know the author is Muslim so maybe that’s her experience, but read reviews from Muslim readers.

i have a lot of thoughts about this book, on the one hand it’s half baked until about 75% but then it still doesn’t make complete sense. on the other hand i see what the author was trying to do here, it was very poetic, in a way. but some authors aren’t equipped to write true poetic work. i get what mafi was trying to do with this book. it didn’t make sense until the end because it wasn’t supposed to the main characters thoughts were so jumbled because of GREIF, mafi just didn’t assemble it correctly. it had great potential, but the potential wasn’t met. she wrote this book with the write concept for the times, but the writing just doesn’t do it justice.
