An extraordinary true account of the enormous tragedy of the Syrian civil conflict.Since the revolution-turned-civil war in Syria began in 2011, over 500,000 civilians have been killed and more than 12 million Syrians have been displaced. Rania Abouzeid, one of the foremost journalists on the topic, follows two pairs of sisters from opposite sides of the conflict to give readers a firsthand glimpse of the turmoil and devastation this strife has wrought. Sunni Muslim Ruha and her younger sister Alaa withstand constant attacks by the Syrian government in rebel-held territory. Alawite sisters Hanin and Jawa try to carry on as normal in the police state of regime-held Syria. The girls grow up in a world where nightly bombings are routine and shrapnel counts as toys. They bear witness to arrests, killings, demolished homes, and further atrocities most adults could not even imagine. Still, war does not dampen their sense of hope. Through the stories of Ruha and Alaa and Hanin and Jawa, Abouzeid presents a clear-eyed and page-turning account of the complex conditions in Syria leading to the onset of the harrowing conflict. With Abouzeid's careful attention and remarkable reporting, she crafts an incredibly empathetic and nuanced narrative of the Syrian civil war, and the promise of progress these young people still embody.

Pricey but works
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 100
It works well and is definitely worth it, but it's pretty small and pricey for what you get.

Works great, TSA compliant!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 100
I LOVE spf 100, I know people like to say anything above 30 or whatever is pointless but let me say, when I use spf 100 I don't tan at all (and I DON'T want to tan, I'm Asian and the kind of person who walks outside for 5 minutes and I'm visibly slightly darker) and my husband is white and burns if out in the sun too much but this stuff not only prevented burn but I think also prevented tan for him too 🤷🏻♀️ I think these bottles are also awesome to be able to fly with too, we bought a few for our Punta Cana trip and we didn't tan or burn, and we only used a little over one bottle for 5 days (we only wore when we'd be out in direct sun a few hours each day, and my outfits didn't show a LOT of skin so less surface area). I hope this company continues selling this product, it'll always be my go to for travel sun screen now :)

Feels great on skin, but wish it was a larger amount.
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 100
I haven’t tried this in the sun yet, so I can’t attest to how it works as intended, but so far I have tried it on my skin to see if it is as thick and white as others. It goes on very easy and smooth. I do not see a noticeable white cast and it soaks into the skin quickly. I am hoping it works well in the sun because I will repurchase. I just wish it was a larger amount.
