This was one of those books that left you feeling bad, but because you know you have privilege. I really enjoyed a lot about this book, the fact the protagonist acted like a teenager, the fact she had some fears and doubts about being the hero of the story and the fact that though there was a love interest, it was not /everything/. This book was brought into this world to make a point, and that point is clear. Islamaphobia is alive in the United States and it is something we should reach rise up against.
