This sometimes distracted from the story, which is a shame, as the way this book discusses its main themes is definitely its strong suit. Some of the dialogue tended to be a tad too simplistic, which gave it an unnecessarily juvenile tone. My only criticism is that the writing was somewhat lacking at times. My favourite aspects of the book were the family relationships between Rukhsana and her brother, her cousin and her grandmother. (Although I would urge you to read the trigger warnings below and put your own safety first!) I really loved how the main themes in t he novel were handled, because it was so realistic and there was so much nuance. Mostly anger and frustration, but hope as well. This book was very difficult to read at times, and it made me feel so much. It started off slow enough, but to say it packed a punch is putting it mildly. I didn’t expect this to be an easy read, but it definitely was a lot heavier than I expected. Sabina Khan – The Love and Lies of Rukhsana Ali I accidentally had a little hiatus in April, but I figured better late than never!! So here’s my very belated April wrap-up, as I would still love to share my favourite (4 and 5 star) reads of the month with you □
