Razia Mirza grows up amid the wild grape vines and backyard sunflowers of Corona, Queens, with her best friend, Saima, by her side. When a family rift drives the girls apart, Razia’s heart is broken. She finds solace in Taslima, a new girl in her close-knit Pakistani-American community. They embark on a series of small rebellions: listening to scandalous music, wearing miniskirts, and cutting school to explore the city.

Amazing

I was instantly hooked. You can tell from the performance how happy and proud the author is to be narrating their own story, because it sounds like they have a smile on their face pretty much the whole book. While I am a white and severely uncultured woman, this was a very enlightening read. It shines a light on a world I was not aware of, and allowed me to learn a little bit more about another culture. The story was your average coming of age story, sprinkled with some queerness that I can relate to. But there's just something about it that sets it apart, though I can't quite pinpoint it. Overall, it's worth a read, and is definitely one I'll recommend in the future. I am thankful for this novel.
