Tw: sexual assault

This was a wonderful book. I loved Janna, her friends, and her family. I loved that choice was an ongoing theme; wearing a hijab or a niqab or nothing at all was each individual girl’s decision. The story was also very eye-opening. I learned a lot about Islam. I think this is the first book I’ve read with an actively religious Muslim protagonist.

Not quite a favorite, but still a very good book. I’m glad I picked it up.
