In school from a teacher, from students, while traveling. She wants to stand against all the people against racism and Islamophobia, which she faces a lot. Zayneb is a Muslim Hijabi girl, with full of passion. “Never, ever quake in the face of hate, Zayneb.” This book is written in a different pattern, in the form of journal entries so 2 POV Adam and Zainab, and they have divided the entries into two parts Marvel and Oddity, There are a couple of chapters where the author comes from nowhere and it is 3rd person POV, Maybe it sounds odd…But I really enjoy it. This is going to be that type of review where I don’t know where to start or what to say… “Maybe that’s what living is–recognizing the marvels and oddities around you.” I am busy in my master’s exams and got 3 days for preparation for a really hard paper and I choose to spend 6 precious hours reading Love from A to Z, Not a mature decision I know, I wanted to read a few pages then few chapters and like this, I finished it…You know this struggle right? I have been raving about how I want to read this book for so long, I read Saints and Misfits last year and fall in love with the way of storytelling and writing style of S.K.Ali. Intent on keeping the memory of his mom alive for his little sister.Īdam’s also intent on keeping his diagnosis a secret from his grieving father.Īlone, Adam and Zayneb are playing roles for others, keeping their real thoughts locked away in their journals.
Since he got diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in November, Adam’s stopped going to classes, intent, instead, on perfecting the making of things.
When she gets suspended for confronting her teacher, and he begins investigating her activist friends, Zayneb heads to her aunt’s house in Doha, Qatar, for an early start to spring break.įueled by the guilt of getting her friends in trouble, she resolves to try out a newer, “nicer” version of herself in a place where no one knows her. Like Zayneb’s teacher, who won’t stop reminding the class how “bad” Muslims are.īut Zayneb, the only Muslim in class, isn’t bad. Like the fact that there are hateful people in the world. Like the perfect fries Adam and his mom used to make together.Īn oddity: whatever gives you pause. Like potatoes-because they make French fries happen.
