I got through this book way too fast. It was a beautiful read and I loved reading the stories from the Quran and the similarities & differences from their Biblical counterparts. And the way the author connected her experiences with gender, sexuality, race, & class to these stories. Some of them definitely opened my eyes to some of my own personal pitfalls & problems I make for myself. I hope the author publishes more in the future.

This book does a beautiful job of intertwining the author’s experiences with queerness, faithfulness, immigration, racism, xenophobia, and biological and chosen family (to name a few).

I loved the structure of the book and the way they aligned the themes of different religious texts with themes of their life.
