Whew, Sahar Mustafah's "The Beauty of Your Face" is definitely a heavy piece. The story begins as Afaf Rahman, a second generation Palestinian American, finds herself at the mercy of a school shooter at her all girls Muslim American school in Chicago. It is a situation that is all too real for the millions of Muslim Americans today and Mustafah did a brilliant job of describing the large and small ways Islamophobia seeps through American life. I absolutely adored her writing, just tense enough to keep the reader always wanting a little bit more! The only thing that was slightly confusing was the way the story seemed to flip back and forth between the protagonist's current moment and her past life.

Definitely worth the hype!
