![]() ![]() ![]() In an attempt to organize my review into some semblance of cohesion, I’ve decided to break it down by the relationships that Karina has with the different people in her life. Now that we have that out of the way, lets get on with the review. Regardless of how hard I personally related to this book, I strongly believe there are themes in this book that are universal and I would argue that anyone could find things in this book that are relevant to their own lives and experiences, regardless of their cultural background. There were parts of this book that felt almost uncomfortably like I was looking at my own past and things that were also slightly different, like our religion. ![]() ![]() Maybe it’s because of the similarities in our cultural upbringing – Karina Ahmed is a Bangladeshi American Muslim and I’m an Indian born, American raised Bengali. But before I start in on the actual bones of the review, I just want to address one thing really quickly: I related HARD to this book. There’s so much I want to say about this book that I’m a little afraid my review might be all over the place. I don’t find myself reading too much YA but this delightful book made me want to change that. ![]()
