More Wednesday words that resonate hard, thank you. I don’t even have words for Omar’s book, for all his work, really. BOML, all. So I am with you on the hype! Can’t wait to start Make Room for Love.

Thanks so much for these recommendations! I've put Omar's book on my list and will be reading it sooner rather than later.

That book by Omar El Akkad is incredible, and it hasn't left me alone since I finished it. Feels like his two novels were a bit of a warm-up to this. It took me four days to read because almost every sentence hits like a hammer.

"Every sentence hits like a hammer." Oh that is so true!! I know this is one I will need to go back to again and again.
