Me thinks

I loved the innocence is this book that reflects throughout the story. The author has attempted to bring out the emotions at the right places in terms of what youngsters face mainly as teenagers when they are barely trying to decipher the meaning of love and life.

As I flipped through the pages I saw myself in some places and am sure many of us would connect for what we have been and where we have been at some point in our lives.

I lived the simple narrative keeping in mind the target audience making it a very light read. The author has handled the emotions part very well and yet there was something in me that kept asking for me. At some places you feel it all left loose whilst suddenly thereafter the author grabs the narrative not letting it go even for a moment. The author surely has potential and this book just reaffirms that.

Over all a decent read, which could have been more engrossing!

As an Arab-American writer, Lababidi is uniquely positioned to speak on the intersection of identity, politics, and human rights. His poetry, both personal and political, draws a clear line between the suffering of the Palestinian people and the complicity of global powers in perpetuating that suffering. Through his words, Lababidi eloquently counters the equation that Z...
