Well now I have to read everything Hanya writes. I was worried a book this long wouldn’t hold my attention. Wrong. I loved the characters. The main character lives such a tortured life- it’s so sad. Beautifully written. So captivating. Heart-wrenchingly tragic. I loved and hated this so much. Just check trigger warnings
