I finished this book 3 days ago and I cannot stop thinking about it. It explores the question: What is it like to be a Muslim-American in a post-9/11 world? Brilliant, unsparing. Highly recommended. What a writer!

That moment when you’re feeling a bit down and come on this app only to see some ❤️ from two awesome friends 🥰
