I absolutely loved this book! It is so sweet and happy sappy while still addressing racism, Islamophobia, appropriation, and more. The relationship between these two was so sweet and as I said in an earlier post I really enjoyed reading about how the main characters experienced and practiced their faith and seeing how much I had in common with them. It also inspired me to buy my own burqini, which should be arriving any day now, despite public pools not being something I anticipate using until vaccines are widely available (I did look into it and found that the creator is happy for non-Muslims to use them). I've had bad anxiety about people being able to see my body for years and it has kept me from swimming, something I enjoy a great deal. It made me feel so free to realise there was a solution.
Other reasons to read this book include really sweet familial relationships and a male love interest who likes to make crafts!
