I was really looking forward to reading this but unfortunately it didn’t live up to my expectations. It is light hearted and funny in places but I found it to be quite boring. I’ve read some absolute crackers this past year so could be that I’m comparing it to them. The mix of writing formats throughout (letters, notes, texts, thoughts etc) made it quite jolted to read. However, I did enjoy learning about the experiences of a young Muslim woman in today’s world and can see why other people would enjoy it.
