the plot and story-line was alright. i loved how i could relate to it since i'm a brown girl myself :) i think i didin't like it as much because i'm more into the sci-fi stuff

i thought this book was an absouloute waste of time dont read it! unless u want me bustin down ur door and yelling at u for wasting ur horrible lives on this freakin book!

Fun book!

this book rlly connects me ...rlly good....

i really liked the book.

Honestly, I thought this book was annoying and kinda stupid. Considering I'm a muslim.

Slightly predictable, and honestly, too many names to comprehend to start. But the further you get into the book, the more you like it and realise you can't put it down. Definitely enlightening about Aussie culture.

This book is a good insite to the life of a muslim girl. The situations she is in are relevent to the life of the average teenager

Nice story about Jamilah, a Lebanese Muslim girl who is afraid to reveal her heritage to her Australian classmates for fear of being bullied. Instead she anglicizes her name, dies her hair and wears contacts. Jamilah does everything she can to keep family and school life separate. She also finds herself sitting on the sidelines as a bystander as the class jerk bullies fellow students and makes racist comments. By saying nothing, she can fit in. Not one of the cool kids, but neither is she ostrac...moreNice story about Jamilah, a Lebanese Muslim girl who is afraid to reveal her heritage to her Australian classmates for fear of being bullied.

Not one of the cool kids, but neither is she ostracized. But when her Arabic folk band is booked for a school dance, her world is about to collapse around her and her secret will be revealed. Watching her navigate her way through all of the problems, all while stumbling and making mistakes like most teenagers (including me) was refreshing and reaffirming. No answer is easy. There are consequences for every choice. Finally, the fact that she rejects the romance makes this not your typical teenager book.

I kinda liked the book but it makes no sense no offense but i thought it was dumb
