This is a novel that reads like a memoir. This is a story of a woman floundering through a long line of relationships trying to fill the holes in herself created by her childhood. She never quite feels like she belongs anywhere. This is a novel about longing and learning and ultimately growing.

NPR calls the protagonist a nesting doll of otherness and I can't think of another way to describe her. Arab, Bisexual, anorexic, migrant and so much more.
