You truly assumed / Laila Sabreen.

Sabreen, Laila, (author.).

Summary:

In Virginia, Sabriya has her whole summer planned--until a terrorist attack near her home. When the terrorist is assumed to be Muslim and Islamophobia grows, Sabriya turns to her online journal for comfort. When the blog goes viral, fellow Muslim teens around the country flock to it and find solace and a sense of community. Two more teens, Zakat in Georgia and Farah in California, join Bri to run You Truly Assumed. The three form a strong friendship, but as the blog's popularity grows, so do the pushback, hateful comments and threats. The search to find out who is behind it all begins. Now all three must decide whether to shut down the blog and lose what they have worked for, or take a stand and risk everything to make their voices heard. -- Adapted from Goodreads.

Summary

You Truly Assumed


"You Truly Assumed is a beautiful portrayal of the multitude of ways to be Black and Muslim while navigating our contemporary world. A must-read for everyone."--Adiba Jaigirdar, author of The Henna Wars In this compelling and thought-provoking debut novel, after a terrorist attack rocks the country and anti-Islamic sentiment stirs, three Black Muslim girls create a space where they can shatter assumptions and share truths. Sabriya has her whole summer planned out in color-coded glory, but those plans go out the window after a terrorist attack near her home. When the terrorist is assumed to be Muslim and Islamophobia grows, Sabriya turns to her online journal for comfort. You Truly Assumed was never meant to be anything more than an outlet, but the blog goes viral as fellow Muslim teens around the country flock to it and find solace and a sense of community. Soon two more teens, Zakat and Farah, join Bri to run You Truly Assumed and the three quickly form a strong friendship. But as the blog's popularity grows, so do the pushback and hateful comments. When one of them is threatened, the search to find out who is behind it all begins, and their friendship is put to the test when all three must decide whether to shut down the blog and lose what they've worked for...or take a stand and risk everything to make their voices heard. "I reached the ending with tears in my eyes--tears cued not by sadness but hope and elation." --S. K. Ali, New York Times bestselling author of The Proudest Blue and Love from A to Z
