What will people think,explores the life of Mia who wants to experience life but not shame her middle eastern grandparents. Fact checker by day and comedian by night. With a secret crush

This book is wonderful, I really enjoyed it. It follows Mia, a third generation Arab-American and her family generations before in Palestine. As Mia navigates multiple cultures, work, family expectations, a possible office romance, and her ambitions as a stand-up comic, she learns more about the secrets her grandparents have kept from her. Shedding light on these secrets helps Mia to understand so much more about who and where she came from and herself in the process.

This book discusses many difficult topics, providing insight into what it’s like to grow up different while striving to live your dreams with complex influences and pressures. There is romance, lovely descriptions of both New York and Palestine, and lots of humor. I listened to the audiobook version and the narrator navigates all the characters and accents perfectly. A joy to listen to. I highly recommend this book to anyone who appreciates humor, cultural descriptions, believable romance, and a well-told story.
