I don't know what my expectations were, but I certainly didn’t expect to feel so seen and validated in Lamya’s experiences and views of queerness, gender non-conformity, and race. Such a beautiful memoir that provoked the “extreme” feminist in me, and made me feel okay with not fighting every fight.

This book is beautiful. Incredibly insightful and easy to relate to. At least for me. Lamya and I do not come from the same culture, nor do we have the same faith, but we exist in such similar ways that made me really appreciate their words and shared experiences.
I can relate to having been faced with moments of racism, colorism, homophobia, fear, hope, realization throughout my life... It's nice to know we're never truly alone.

Might reread when I actually have a will to live.
Liked some parts, others felt like you should keep them to yourself kinda thoughts.
I also liked the Quran reading book club.
