Really beautifully written. Again these queer Palestinian stories are really magical and this one really did have that magical touch. It was both poetic and also grounded in a way. There was a touch of magical realism and a really good balance of touching on queer identity without romance or one romantic relationship being at the center of it. There really was a lot of hurt and pain in the writing which kept me engaged from front to back
