As a fellow Arab, I felt so seen in this. I can't wait to have this book in my hands and re-read it properly.

Shreteh's memoir was a delightful book to read. It was wordy at times but she gets her story told. I enjoyed reading about her life as an Arab-American. The challenges she described in a brave way - very admirable. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. Three stars.

Through Samia's lyrical and poetic narration, we are transported into the depths of her memories, emotions, and cultural conflicts. It's a pilgrimage of self-discovery that encourages readers to find their own unique voice and embrace their genuine identity.
