![]() ![]() Shirin is the angry teen who is tired of moving around, transferring to multiple schools before completing high school and is forever pissed off about people asking her questions about her hijab. “I was stuck in another small town, trapped in another universe populated by the kind of people who’d only ever seen faces like mine on their evening news, and I hated it.” This book is brutally honest and makes you ashamed, angry and regret the things we knowingly or unknowingly do against a community. #OwnVoices – Tahereh Mafi has written this book to share her own experiences of being stereotyped and her struggle with racism and her love for breakdancing. If there was one YA book I would recommend to anyone, this would be it! I loved this book, I loved it for it’s representation of post 9/11 America, I loved it for the way it depicted the glorious pre-Facebook days, I loved it for showing how devastatingly painful, the life of a Muslim American teen can be in those days. ![]() ![]() Other books by author – Shatter me series, Furthermore Duology.Ī Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi was a book gifted to me by a lovely friend )in Instagram. ![]()
