Critics Review
“Laylah and Noor are strong characters with clear goals and aspirations; Yasmin weaves in their opinions on Islam and relationships, emphasizing the importance of being able to make the choices that affect one’s life.” – -Kirkus Reviews * 6/1/24 *
”…relevant look at the ingenuity, tenacity, and hope of two teens fighting for their right to choose.” – -Publishers Weekly * 6/24/2024 *
“Yasmin leavens the story with sparkling humor and warmth. Laylah and Noor are the stars of the novel, but the well-rounded secondary characters are not far behind. This is a smart and beautifully written book, with a plot pulled from the front page of any newspaper.” – -Booklist, STARRED REVIEW * 4/15/24 *
