I really enjoyed reading this book I loved the characters so much and the story was great! The book is very heartwarming but also deals with the important topics of religion and terrorism and I think it's written very well.

Maya Aziz is an Indian-American Muslim who is trying to live with the struggles of high school, longing to go to her dream college in New York and dreams about her crush who she has liked forever but is seemingly unavailable. A terrorist attack occurs in another city and this really impacted Maya and her family being the only Muslim family in their small town of Batavia.

I warmed towards Maya more and more as the story went on and loved seeing her character develop. This book is fairly short but is still such a lovely and important read and I'd highly recommend!
