A review by butch
Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H

challenging emotional reflective tense fast-paced

4.25

the organization and thematic use of vignettes threaded together with explorations of scripture and spirituality were incredibly compelling and connected varying experiences in their life together. the vulnerability and courage are deeply evident in Lamya's writing and reflection. while they did not detract from my overall enjoyment and appreciation of the book, i think some phrasing around social justice issues was overly buzzword-y and their characterization of their date with another butch person came off as disrespecting of butch-butch attraction and relationships in my reading.
