The Love and Lies of Rukhsana Ali by Sabina Khan

4.0

WOW this book was good. It was very powerful and emotional and took me through a part of South Asian culture that I have never experienced before. Rukhsana's parents were very, very traditional parents, but what I loved about this book was that (mild spoiler):

her parents were able to grow and learn, and while they were villainized for quite a lot of the book, they became better people which is a hopeful message that many queer brown people probably needed to hear

This book was so heart-wrenching and great and a really good read.
