Sara, a Pakistani American girl, and Elizabeth, a white Jewish girl, bond in a cooking class in this story about sixth grade, food, friendship, family and what it means to belong.

I really enjoyed this. Sara lowkey got on my nerves, but I really enjoyed her character development. I really loved the writing style, I was surprised that it was written by two authors instead of just the one. My only suggestion would be a glossary at the end, as there were a few times where the only reason I was able to understand the Urdu was because I speak it. If you don't know any Urdu, I suggest you have google translate on hand.
That being said, I really want to try the recipe in the back of the book! It seems quite tasty
