**I was provided an ARC in exchange for an honest review**
The writing of this took me a little bit to get used to and the nonlinear writing was at times a little disorienting but once I was used to the writing style I really enjoyed it! The lyrical prose and interweaving of the characters dreams and hopes was really well done
The author gave me some real insight to the experiences of gay men in Syria and the identity struggles that are encountered as a refugee.
Overall really enjoyable
