The start of the book was a little slow with the introduction of multiple POVs. I did find some of the POVs more interesting so some dragged even worse. That's one of the main reasons I couldn't give this 5 stars.

This book was not an easy read, but it was a good read. It has a lot of heavy topics between British Muslims dealing with racism and seeing how a young boy was radicalized to join IS. The family dynamics throughout are a major point, with the characters having to decide what they're willing or able to forgive while tackling their own demons. The characters felt real with all their flaws and characteristics.

The ending was absolutely insane. This book obviously has a lot of dark themes that run throughout, so I would recommend just making sure you're in a good mindset before picking it up.
