3.0

Love is an Ex-Country by Randa Jarrar , is a bold and candid memoir told as a road trip. The gay, “proudly fat”Palestinian author confronts trauma over how she was shamed for her weight, how she became a teenage mother and how she rebels against her abusive family and societal expectations.  The writing style wasn’t for me; unfortunately, it was a bit disjointed.  It’s also not for the easily offended.  However, she gives some wonderful insights on important topics that are full of beauty and truth. She certainly got my attention!
