Saints and Misfits

Wow, this captivated me. Completely captured me. It wasn't perfect but I'm giving it 5 stars because it's the first book in a long time that completely pulled me into the story. This was quite a coming of age novel, touched on issues of race and prejudice, sexual assault, crushes, and friendship.

Not all of the characters were well developed (who even is Jeremy? I don't really know him after this book still) but the characters of her Muslim community were well done and the picture was painted really well. I loved this.
