A Touching Love Story

by Lubna Alam

The Book of Mev is the heart-wrenching, inspirational, funny, sad, and thought-provoking story of a young woman committed to social justice. After reading this book, I was absolutely inspired by Mev and her example, thoughts, and work. It reminded me of how important it is for all of us to remember the suffering and oppressed in our midst and around the world and to DO something about it.

But The Book of Mev ” is much more than just inspirational, it is also a touching love story. Through photographs, letters, and journal entries we see two young vibrant people meet and fall in love. It is sweet yet also incredibly touching and sad.

I never knew Mev Puleo, but reading this book gave me a glimpse into what she was like, her thoughts, her hopes, and her work for others.

Read this book, for it will energize and inspire you. It will make you think, it will make you thankful for the ones you love around you.
