4.0

Touching and sad, this book examines the bonds of family and true love. This book explores perspectives that I hadn’t ever considered and highlights how we can be coerced, manipulated, or confused into making choices that no one else understands or supports. Shamsie beautifully describes the grey areas not understood in the black and white of the current sociopolitical world.
