readinghavoc's review against another edition
4.25
I really really enjoyed reading this. Like a good memoir usually does, this felt both enlightening and highly relatable. I'm really glad to have gotten to read something on the relationship between religion and queerness that was both really similar and so different from my own experiences and questions. Habib's voice was strong and impressive — reading this felt like listening to and learning from a kind friend with more life experience to share. I think this would be a good read for anyone trying to unpack the relationship between their faith and identity, anyone who is trying to build a healthy relationship with a complicated parent, or anyone who wants to think some more about intersectionality and activism.
