“The scariest monsters are the ones who seem the most like you.” ― Samira Ahmed, Internment
I pretty much cried from start to finish because of how real and painful it was. It would drain me emotionally and I was right. I find it so much harder to write reviews about books that I absolutely loved, because all I want to say is how amazing it was, but I know that I can’t just do that.īut I am going to say this: I knew that when I requested Internment, it would be a hard read. With the help of newly made friends also trapped within the internment camp, her boyfriend on the outside, and an unexpected alliance, Layla begins a journey to fight for freedom, leading a revolution against the internment camp’s Director and his guards. Set in a horrifying near-future United States, seventeen-year-old Layla Amin and her parents are forced into an internment camp for Muslim American citizens. I know that I only read it two months before the release date, but it meant that I could rave about it for two months and convinced loads of my friends to pre-order or buy it when it came out in the shops.Ĭontent warnings: death, murder, islamophobia, racism, violence, torture, internment camps. As soon as I read the blurb for Internment, I knew that I had to request an early copy of it, and I am so glad that I did.
