Mooi geschreven, mega interessante memoire over een moslima die op een heel fijne manier haar religieuze zoektocht en gender en seksualiteit zoektocht met elkaar verweeft.

I really enjoyed the ideas in this book - the queering of the Quran, the questions about being “authentically gay”, the expansion of Islamic tradition to make space for queers - but I didn’t love the style. It’s reads like a college admissions personal statement mixed with a devotional study. given the nod to Stone Butch Blues, I’d hoped for more of a literary memoir. that being said, what the book lacked in literary merit, it made up for in originality of thought and necessity of its message. I can only imagine how valuable it is to young Muslim queers coming of age - to see the possibility promised by Lamya’s journey
