This is a fantastic book.
10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World is unlike anything I have ever read. The storyline is exceptionally crafted with the mixing of factual details alongside the fictional story. I read about 80% of this book over the last two days and enjoyed every minute of it.
10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World has a way of pulling on your heartstrings and I can confidently say that Leila and her friends are my favorite characters from any book I have read to-date. Everything was raw and relatable in a way that allowed me to see through Leila's eyes into this world of underbelly Istanbul.
10/10 would recommend and will be reading this again someday.
