All of the warnings should be fairly obvious going into this. The material is hard to contend with at times, but very very worth it.

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!
