Home Is Not a Country by Safia Elhillo
4.0
Type of read: Commuter Read.
What made me pick it up: Looking for books to fulfill the April TN R.E.A.D.S challenges (poetry).
Overall rating: 'Home is Not a Country' is a beautiful reflection on how we become ourselves, find ourselves, and accept ourselves, especially when we're not in the place we think we should be. At times I was a bit confused and had to remind myself of the storyline - it's just very intricate and involves talking with the person you could have been while fighting to be the person you want to be - but overall, it was a good read.
