Love Is an Ex-Country by Randa Jarrar

adventurous

2.0

although i appreciate the fearlessness of this book, Jarrar’s reckoning with embracing her body, her sexuality, her spirit, and her relationship with her father, there was so much about this book that didn’t work for me unfortunately. i thought this book was a memoir but it felt much more like an essay collection that is memoir-ish in nature. it’s not very deep or prophetic, but instead simple, direct and bare bones. also the sexual content is very explicit so beware of that if you do pick this one up
