A review by colleen_bean_reads
Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H

emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

The queer book club that I run picked this book for our April 2023 read, and I will forever be grateful for that. Lamya his a beautiful author and her writing is lyrical. Throughout the memoir she compares stories from the Quran with her own story and life experience. She highlights the feelings of not fully belonging to any one group which is something I think many people can relate to. This book taught me a lot about Muslim faith and being a queer Muslim woman. It also challenged my own thoughts and actions towards people who are queer and religious. This a book that I think everyone should read.
