Enjoyable read! Middle school me would have LOVED this (which means that I, in turn, loved it)

Covered too much ground too quickly for me to feel invested in her story.

I felt this book so much. Feeling like an outsider in your own country is a real feeling, and the search for your own identity and a sense of belonging are paramount.

I felt like I grew up alongside Malaka, on the quest for my own dream and sense of self.
