I loved this book so much. it was so good and I would definitely read it again. the author explored the characters feelings perfectly and wrote the story beautifully. it is a nice book to read for educational purposes as well if wanting to learn more on war. I really enjoyed it as it touched my heart.

Clear motivations of characters made the plot satisfying. Descriptive memories really filled out the main characters. For my writing I wanna remember:

link between Layla’s painting and the sea scene at the end was cool. And can I use Khawl’s character for My Friend Anxiety?

 

Twist with Layla was great and never saw it coming

This book was on my TBR for a long time and I was so excited to finally get around to it. It was even better than I thought it would be and the book just got better and better.  Katouh did an amazing job educating and engaging her audience. The twist made my jaw drop and I found myself so incredibly attached to the characters.
