Rukhsana Will do just about anything to keep her parents from finding out she’s a lesbian because she knows they will lose it, which creates tension with her girlfriend who just doesn’t understand why she can’t come out to them. A stressful but excellent read. Wasn’t a fan of the privileged/unsupportive girlfriend, and Rhukhsana’s parents suck, but still enjoyable.
