The Things I Would Tell You: British Muslim Women Write by Sabrina Mahfouz

4.0

I love that this exists, and wanted to really, really love it as a book - in reality though, I found it a little hard to get into given how much the stories/essays/poems in the book jump around between non-fiction, fiction, personal essays, etc. I really appreciated that just 'being Muslim' wasn't a huge part of many of these books (which would've felt a little tokenising/on the nose)- instead, the themes covered were much broader, and created space that I rarely see in other places. Generally, really appreciate that this anthology is out there, even though it wasn't my favourite!
