I need a physical copy of this book! I am dying to annotate. It is so lyrical, eye opening, daring, daunting, and blunt in the best ways possible. It definitely touches on some serious subject matters, definitely look into trigger warnings but as far as it's structure and execution, top tier.

Personal and heartfelt. Powerful, emotional peace of collection. Learned a bit about Pakistani history and enticed to dive in and learn more on my own. Tons of fave poems. Can see myself coming back to this one again and again and recommending it to all Muslim girls who struggle to reconcile their religious and national identities.
