I wanted to love this. I was very excited to see a Palestinian MC, which is why I gave it some stars. But this was so boring. I made myself finish it because I was hoping it would get better. MC was weirdly tolerant of her family treating her poorly. Lara was the worst. I could not get into the love triangle thing because Hakeem was incredibly flat as a character. There was no tension, no buildup.
