katliterary 's review for:

Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H.
4.5
emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

Writing and publishing this book must have taken so much courage, but I’m incredibly grateful that the author did it. Lamya generously pulled me into a world that I knew very little about—the intersection between being a proud queer person and a devout Muslim. I enjoyed learning more about portions of the Quran through Lamya’s perspective and personal stories. I wish I had gotten to know her even more deeply, but I understand why some distance was necessary or preferred. The time-hopping made the audiobook a little difficult to track at times. But overall it is a really important memoir and I will be thinking of it often.
