One of the bad things about this book though is that Shadi describes burqas as "gross tent things." ._.

This was beautifully written, yet incredibly sad! Wish we got to explored more situations because many things were left open at the end. However, I don’t think it takes away from how emotionally painful this novel was to read at times. Gorgeous writing!
