read this in honor of read palestine week. too slow paced for my liking but stuck it out for this challenge and really wanted to see the outcome of Yara so i ended up finishing it in two dedicated days. about trauma, therapy, bravery… i was rooting for her and felt sad at times for her. third person (usually not a fan) and stream of consciousness type.
