The sunlight was heavy today, fingers of heat forming sweaty hands that braced my face, dared me to flinch. I was stone, still as I stated up into the eye of an unblinking sun, hoping to be blinded.

This was a beautifully written story. I felt like I could relate to the way that Shadi felt. It really gives perspective on things. I would strongly recommend reading this story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My Friday read. 😍 #anemotionofgreatdelight #taherehmafi

At times I felt like the book was going nowhere. It was beautifully written (though a bit flowery at times). Fourth book finished for #20in4

Tahereh Mafi‘s YA novel is an uneven mix of melodrama, romance, coming-of-age story and recent historical events that, for me, is hampered by the fact that the main character is incredibly passive so all the events happen to her rather than her driving them. Although that‘s a believable reaction as Mefi is overwhelmed and shutting down, I didn‘t find it interesting to read so that and the melodramatic style left me somewhat disappointed.

I took this audiobook on a very sunny, beautiful walk today. It has to do with grief, Islamaphobia (set a couple years post 9/11), and just trying to get by in a world while it is falling down around you.

Starting my third book of the day.
