    A Delve into the Past
  

*by A***Z on Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2022*

When I found myself needing this novel as a required reading for a class this semester, I groaned as I was being forced to read a novel that I may not actually like. If there is something I dislike heavily when it comes to academic courses, it is being forced to read a novel. As a future teacher, I understand the struggle of properly utilizing a textbook within a classroom without losing student interest and making it feel relevant to the students. I find this even more difficult with novels, as the words of the author may not properly reach the ears of the student. An author’s words are at their best when the reader chooses to seek them out as their melody and meaning are at their best in that manner, and forced reading interrupts the flow that many authors need to have their words properly reach their audience. That skepticism faded when I finally sat down to read this book and intake what its words truly had to say. This novel is about a Muslim teenage girl named Shirin, who is living life a year after the 9/11 tragedy shocked America and created a racial discourse between the Islamic community and other Americans. The novel is very human, almost as if it’s just a transcript of a one-sided conversation that Shirin had with me about her life and experiences. The book can be funny, deeply uncomfortable, and real as the words crafted by Mafi can intertwine the aspect of your soul that perceives fiction as something to relate to and connect with emotionally. An truly out-of-body experience as it takes you through a story that feels uncomfortably real about a moment in American history that I was much too young to remember. Overall, this novel is excellent at making a very real and ordinary story incredibly compelling as you wish to see what happens next to this main character that you feel yourself unexpectedly invested in.

    Tahereh Mafi comes thru with an important but wholesome contemporary
  

*by W***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2019*

I was nervous starting this book because the first 25% of this lays a lot of groundwork and there’s a lot of telling instead of showing. Despite this, I was highlighting paragraphs basically every other page because Shirin’s experiences and anger born from them was so powerful. This book cuts the crap from Shatter Me & Furthermore’s writing style and says it how it is. Gone are the flowery paragraphs of images and metaphors, but they’re replaced by hard-hitting and steel edged descriptions of Shirin’s real life. It’s different and it’s jarring, but it fits the story. I’m not even exaggerating when I say that probably 50% of this ebook’s text is highlighted. From powerful moments to funny, relatable moments to important moments to cute moments, I was glued onto the pages.I LOVED Shirin’s relationship with her brother, Navid. Their bond was endearing and I liked how he was her mentor and cheered her up and stuck up for her and was the reason she got into break dancing. He was definitely my favorite side character!I can’t put my finger on it, but this book just.... works. It was fast to read. I haven’t lived a life anywhere near Shirin’s, but being in her head made sense. I understood her feelings. I understood her fears. I sympathized with her so much that my heart hurt. I was rooting for her the entire book, and her transformation and self-actualization was such an engrossing journey.The reason why I took a star off is because the relationship is melodramatic to the point of being cliche. Shirin deals with racism and xenophobia and bigotry, and Ocean deals with..... not wanting to be on the basketball team. It felt like a flat plot point that’s a totally overused trope. The stakes were so low because it felt too cliché and the conflict of this book reminded me of High School Musical. I don't want this to look like I'm minimizing the actual events because clearly Shirin prevailing and asserting her worth in that situation was still such a powerful read, but I wish Ocean's conflict that drives the emotional climax of this book could have been designed to be less.... generic.Nevertheless, this is a once in a lifetime book. Whatever small writing or plot issues I have with it makes up in the fact that I haven’t read anything as important and eye-opening as this before. Its unparalleled honesty had me throwing my fist in the hair during some scenes and wiping away tears in others. It’s a stand-out book of 2018, and definitely an exception you should make if you aren't a fan of YA contemporary. Please please please support this book and the author behind it because she and the book deserve the world.

    WOW
  

*by F***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2024*

I wish I could give this more stars.Never did I lose interest. The characters are so well thought out. So detailed where they need to be, vague where they don't. The story doesn't go all the places I thought it would, and that's fabulous. The tensions are so well handled, so well thought out. I felt like I was right there in the middle of it all, and fly on the wall. So, so good.
