This book didn’t just break me—it finished me. Six hours later, and I’m still crying. 

The cruelty, the loss, the sheer heartbreak—it's unbearable. And yet, through all the pain, this story reveals the beauty of freedom, the cost it demands, and the hope that refuses to die.

Kenan and Salama’s love is a quiet light in the darkness, a reminder that even in war, love and resilience endure. Zoulfa’s portrayal of trauma is raw and unflinching, capturing grief in its most brutal form.

This book shattered me—but it also deepened my understanding of freedom, love, and hope.
