Dead Dead Girls by Nekesa Afia
Did not finish book. Stopped at 32%.

At 100 pages in I’m just not compelled by these characters and annoyed with the way the story is progressing. I know it will be maybe 3 stars from me, so I might as well not continue.
As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow by Zoulfa Katouh
2.5
As others have said, the writing is a bit repetitive and cyclical. I really wasn't sold on the hallucination aspects with Kwarf. In many ways, I was not the target audience for this books, but it has inspired me to seek out other Syrian authors.
