You Truly Assumed by Laila Sabreen
4.0

A trio of Black Muslim teens become girl boss bloggers. Bri, a dancer from DC starts the blog, You Truly Assumed, accidentally, not realizing it wasn't set to private. Next to join is Zakat, an artist from Lullwood, Georgia, and the administrative team is rounded out by Farah, a coder and designer from California. The blog brings together the three girls, who previously hadn't met, as well as serving as a reflective space for the larger community. Of course it also attracts negative attention, because America.

I appreciated all three stories and how the young women and their families and friends learned together. It's a pretty wholesome book and a fast read.
