Love From A to Z

Who else googled marvels and oddities journal? Just me. Okay (=^▽^=) Anyway, when I first saw the cover I felt happy but worried, blue in literature means illness and it also means someone will die by the end of the book, but the cover was also romantic and a Muslim girl is on the cover! I liked the issues addressed in the book, from Burkinis and how people react to them, to converting to Islam, to racism against muslims, to people from different nationalities religions and colors, to Zainab\’s fight for justice for herself and others, I think she would be an amazing lawyer. The book is good, but for some reason I didn\’t love it as much as I hoped I would. 2 people found this helpful

This book was heartbreaking, hopeful and beautiful. The uncertainty of senior year/first year of college is made even more fraught by Zaneb’s battles against Islamaphobia and the injustices all around her and Adam’s battles with a new diagnosis. They each find an anchor in a Marvels and Oddities journal and the story is told primarily through their entries. 1 person found this helpful

This story covers a lot of navigation: love, loss, hate, war, religion, moral code, and sense of self. This journey is covered by journal entries of Adam and Zayneb, but they stray from a typical journal format because they review a moments\’ marvels and oddities. The protagonists are thoughtful and dedicated teens that challenge and inspire each other regularly in a relatively short amount of time, which creates a good foundation for their romance. Their religion plays a prominent role in the story, but not in a straying from it, but rather their refreshing commitment to it. A wonderful listen, I enjoyed most every minute of it.
