Amazing book! 5 star!!! loved the complexity of this book - so much happened and the twists and turns were so unexpected, keeping the story interesting and engaging. There were a wide range of topics covered in the book and I would say read the content warning before going into it. Such important topics covered; may be difficult for some to read. I loved Victoire's and Ramy's characters through out. Loved that the cast was so diverse too. All the characters came from such different backgrounds, facing different hardships and their backstories were so well established. Definitely kept me on my toes- every time I thought they were on one path, the path changed in the next few pages! Would recommend to everyone.
