Review
It takes no time at all for Bilal Alaji to hook his reader with his words and her story in general.
I was invested from the get-go. This novel is a great example of the struggles a person can go through and the ability to overcome your past and your struggles and move on and build something from it. It also goes to show you can't always do it alone. Often times people come into your life and help to straighten it out.
Alaji's writing style is smooth and effortless. I felt like I was in his head and that is a huge testament to his writing ability. Powerful and Emotional and Inspiring.
