Kissing Girls on Shabbat: A Memoir by Sara Glass

5.0

challenging dark emotional sad tense fast-paced

---

I agree with another reviewer that said that this memoir reads like a novel. Sara Glass has a way of making her own life story so thrilling to read and I was constantly wondering what would happen next. It was a great way to learn more about the different Orthodox communities and I appreciate narratives that don't denounce the entirety of their religion when they were in one particularly bad sect. I love memoirs by queer people with different life experiences because it is so easy to think of our family as having a singular experience and stories like this remind me to look outside of myself and remember to include all groups of people in my queer activism.
