I think this is a very important coming of age story and the topics that this book touches on are very crucial to even our modern day society. The story itself was intriguing and I liked Razia’s developing character. There were a few instances where I felt very detached from the story because of how it flowed. The writing is great but the blending of one scene into another was a little choppy.

I would have loved even more of this story too. It felt very rushed near the end and I think if the author evened it out with a bit of length, I would have given this book 5 stars.

Thank you NetGalley and Flatiron Books for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
