Evil Eye by Etaf Rum
3.0
dark emotional reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I liked the concepts about dealing with your past and emotions and confronting difficult things, and the importance of community and support. But a lot of the book felt really repetitive. And other times there just seemed like Yara had abrupt changes in her behavior that didn’t feel natural or in line with her character.
