It’s an extremely turbulent time politically, but especially so for a sixteen-year-old Muslim girl who’s tired of being stereotyped. Shirin is never surprised by how horrible people can be. She’s tired of the rude stares, the degrading comments - even the physical violence she endures as a result of her race, her religion and the hijab she wears every day. Shirin drowns her frustrations in music and spends her afte oons break-dancing with her brother. But then she meets Ocean James. He’s the first person in forever who reallyseems to want to get to know her. It terrifies her -they seem to come from two irreconcilable worlds - and Shirin has had her guard up against the world for so long that she’s not sure she’ll ever be able to let it down. Perfect for fans of the Shatter Me series as well as Angie Thomas's the Hate U Give and Nicola Yoon's the Sun is Also A Star.
