Oh my goodness... I'm quite literally speechless. This is quite possibly one of the best books I have ever read and I never say that lightly. There is just something about the way Sonora Jha tells this story that makes it truly remarkable and one to remember. This story features so many characters with different ethnic, religious, and political backgrounds, who all have a unique point of view that contributes to the story. I absolutely loved how Sonora Jha covered all of the different character backgrounds and navigated through all of their point of views, highlighting their differences while uncovering their similarities. This book covered so many important social issues and I loved how Sonora Jha incorporated so many different point of views, as it made the story so interesting to reader from an outsider's perspective. It was just so well done. That was so unique to read and I've never read something like this before, as it was so eye-opening and educating. I also love how this book was culture-driven, as Sonora Jha highlighted Ruhaba's background and the hardships she faced from her own family and culture, as well as American society. Again, this was very eye opening and interesting to read. I definitely learned a lot more about societal issues that as a country, we simply brush under the rug as no big deal. I just loved everything about this book and will recommend it to absolutely everyone!!
