Didn't love this one but didn't hate it. Loved the diversity in showing Muslims that aren't just Arab- Janna and her brother are ethnically Egyptian and Indian, which is nice as a fellow mixed kid who grew up Muslim. Also liked seeing Janna's growth and her reclaiming her power. It does mention sexual assault and instances of seeing the abuser/being constantly in the same community events/gatherings/spaces. It also mentions the abuser following Janna and taking pictures of her to use against her so be aware of that. 
My main thing is I wish there were  consequences for the abuser mentioned in the book. It felt like a rushed conclusion.

I read Love From A to Z first before her debut novel, and I am glad I gave this book a chance as well, it is as good as LFATA as well, and I cannot wait to read more from this author!
