5.0
loved this so much. as a queer muslim south asian "girl" who grew up in the middle east, this was really relatable to me. i absolutely love the way she uses stories from the quran as parallels to her own story, and makes me appreciate those stories and characters even more. much needed masterpiece of a book.

This book makes me want to read more memoirs! And also friend chase Lamya. A moving exploration of queerness, faith, belonging, immigration, and family (chosen and otherwise!). I really enjoyed her reflections - sometimes the jumping timeline was a little jarring and I wish she dug deeper into some elements/feelings but all in all really enjoyed it! Highly recommend for queer folks, people of faith, and everyone else!
