Considering his education and accolades it is no surprised that Mohsin is a gifted writer and storyteller. Every page drips with authenticity and honesty, I didn’t feel that any moments were embellished or overplayed.
The pacing was spot on and despite him being fairly young, the ‘arc’ of the book felt organic and earned.

Of course, being Pakistani, Muslim and gay would be difficult and challenging but I was genuinely shocked to read how young Mohsin was when he began to struggle with his sexuality and how impactful it was on every part of his life.
How Mohsin overcomes all that life had to throw at him is genuinely inspiring, interesting, messy and honest. Everyone needs to read this book. We can all learn from Mohsin's story no matter what we are wrestling with.
