My first Ramadan read was Evil Eye by Etaf Rum. I actually read her first book last year and I wasn't a big fan so I went into this with slight scepticism. However I needn't have been because it was such an interesting story of intergenerational trauma and how abuse is like a vicious cycle that can be broken. My only criticism is that I would have liked more background on some characters and the history of the Nakba and being displaced from Palestine. I gave it a 4.5* highly recommend you can read my full review here- https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6330292195?book_show_action=false
