Saints and Misfits

Saints and Misfits is a young adult novel by S.K. Ali. The book follows Janna, a hijabi teen who has a non-religious father and a mother and brother who are practicing Muslims. Janna is searching for her own identity and path while keeping a secret that is destroying her inside.

Janna could be any teen coming to grips with her identity and finding it hard to speak out when something bad happens to her. She's unsure of who her true friends are and she has a crush on a boy who her family wouldn't approve of. This is a beautifully written book, highly recommended.
