Hijab and Red Lipstick by Yousra Imran

5.0

This is an intense read and difficult read at times, but I’m so glad I did. It has big trigger warnings for rape, misogyny, sexual assault, and domestic violence and violence toward women. This is such an interesting and well written book. Though the story is a bit difficult to read at times (emotionally nothing to do with the writing etc), it was so beautifully written and so interesting to see the religious and cultural dynamics within family life. Although I say I found it hard at times , it’s still a fast paced read and I enjoyed the book so very much. Heartbreaking, emotional, inspiring, pick this up and read this , you really need to

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion
