4.0

An interesting portrait of a very messy, complicated main character. The unnamed protagonist is dealing with family issues, immigrant trauma, addiction, and internalized homophobia/biphobia. She forms unhealthy relationships. She tries to be better. The cycle repeats over and over. If you want a very messy bisexual book by a Palestinian author, this definitely fits the bill. It did get too repetitive for me at times, and I wanted more from certain aspects, but I would still recommend it.
