Honestly, I wish we get to see what Farooq actually deserves but I’m glad Janna got to confront him. I’m not a fan of her friends though, they were pretty disrespectful of her religion - showing and posting her photos without hijab online. And that she took off her hijab to impress her crush, I got second hand embarrassment but I understand Janna’s a teen and I get what it’s like to be her. I just feel like the topic of hijab should be handled better. I also hate characters like Fizz, I just wanna scream in her face. BUT this book is actually amazing how it introduces Islam, how it explains certain rulings (through Amu) This is amazing Muslim representation.
