This is a fantastic book that feels very real and raw. Written by a queer Palestinian-American woman, about a queer Palestinian-American character, it gives a perspective that I feel is rarely seen. It's one of those books that captures the grittiness of the human experience. All that said, I'd definitely recommend checking out the content warnings.
