Rating: 4.8/5

FAVORIT AKUUUUUU HUHUHUHUHUHUHUH, I was very satisfied with this novel.

this is the summary that I copy from goodread :

A remarkable story about the power of tolerance from one of the most important voices in contemporary Muslim literature, critically acclaimed author Randa Abdel-Fattah.

Michael likes to hang out with his friends and play with the latest graphic design software. His parents drag him to rallies held by their anti-immigrant group, which rails against the tide of refugees flooding the country. And it all makes sense to Michael. Until Mina, a beautiful girl from the other side of the protest lines, shows up at his school, and turns out to be funny, smart -- and a Muslim refugee from Afghanistan. Suddenly, his parents' politics seem much more complicated. Mina has had a long and dangerous journey fleeing her besieged home in Afghanistan, and now faces a frigid reception at her new prep school, where she is on scholarship. As tensions rise, lines are drawn. Michael has to decide where he stands. Mina has to protect herself and her family. Both have to choose what they want their world to look like.

HUAAAAHHH THIS NOVEL DRIVES MEEE CRAZY, kek apalagi dual povnya jadi kek u see from both Mina and Michael point of view trus kek Michael tuh yang beneran madly falling in love with Mina kek OH GOD I WANT TOOO LIKE THAT. Trus Mina ini tuh kek girl crush girl boss bangettt kek emang mudah banget jatuh cinta gituuuu kek argh walaupun agak keras kepala tapi dia tuh pintarr trus dari povnya Michael si Mina ini kek digambarkan cantikkk banget plis plis jadi kek aduh bro this Michael ini kek gws banget ga bisa ditolong lagiii kalo liat dari povnya

nah tapi tuuuuhhh, orangtuanya Michael ini tuh kek pecentus kek komunitas anti imigran jadi kek Michael ini awalnya tuh sembunyiin fakta kalau orangtuanya tuh perintis komunitas ituuu pokoknya dia berusaha sampai Mina gatau eh tapi pada akhirnya Mina tau jugaaa huhu

AKU SUKA BANGET PLISSSSSS HSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHS aku suka Michael, aku suka Mina, aku suka si temannya Mina tapi aku udah lupa namanya siapa, aku cuma ga suka temannya Michael yang sangat begitu rasis dan omongannya kek sampah. Tapiiii overall aku suka banget!!! Banyak banget yang aku tandain pake sticky notes karena memang kek aduhhh aku suka banget plis.

Endingnya agak gimana gitu tapi kek ya udah gapapa sih aku bisa menerima endingnya yang begitu karena lumayan masuk akal, waluapun aku gatau hubungan Michael-Mina bakalan end up together in wedding way or nah tapiiii kek menurut aku ga semua novel romance harus berakhir di pernikahan sih. Kek kalo pandangan aku, beberapa masalah di novel ini sudah selesai kok kek chara developmentnya udah dapat, trus masalahnya si Mina juga udah selesai yang restaurant trus ibunya juga udah melahirkan jadi kek aku rasa udah oh udah sih apalagi yang mau diceritakan karena nnti palingan yang diceritakan tuh cuma keseharian mereka yang pacaran hehehehehehe.

AKU BETULAN SUKA HAHAHAHHAHAHA.
