This was an eye-opening novel about people being displaced and becoming war refugees whether this was legally or illegally. We follow our main character who is a displaced person from Syria who also happens to be Gay which is not accepted by his religion. We watch him as he helps other families to escape war and fall in love. I loved the characters as this shows how fragile life is and that it can be torn away so quickly. The characters have growth through out the novel and this is despite the environment that they find themselves in.
