so-soTo be honest, it was quite slow till I reached the middle of the book and only then picked up. But the character development for the protagonist was excellent!
pickI was apprehensive about this one based on the character descriptions, but it's brash and boisterous cast grew on me, and by the end I was rooting for this dysfunctional band of sisters to find their way through the mess. A somewhat uncomfortable but ultimately rewarding read.
I got to do my first author interview with Aminah Mae Safi recently on @bookriot and it went live today! Her debut novel comes out next week, and (I may be biased but) I definitely recommend checking out both the interview and the book 🤗

A very eclectic mix of favorites from May.
pickStayed up *way* too late finishing this book last night. If you're looking for a YA book that shows the beauty and power of female friendship in all its messy glory, then boy do I have a book for you! These characters are brash and imperfect and make a lot of mistakes but oh did I grow to love them. Major bonus points for not only the Star Wars title reference but also #ownvoices Muslim, Arab American rep!
