" I wouldn't recommend Habibi to those who don't like boring or just chill books, but enjoy adventures, mysteries, violence, romance, etc, then, no, I would not recommend this book. When I first saw this book, I thought, not really knowing what the word 'Habibi' meant, this would be another one of those violent books. But something about this word told me that I shouldn't have bad feelings, which I didn't. The main characters girl is Liyana, a 14 year old girl who transitions from one place to another smoothly. What I mean by the word 'smoothly' is Liyana's family had an ironic move which means moving to another country. Well, Liyana refuses to move but is forced to, with her family, however, she doesn't find her new "place" horrible. If you're wondering why I put quotes around the word "place", the book will show you what I mean, but all readers have different opinions so don't mark my words. "
