Guapa by Saleem Haddad

4.0

This book really touched me. This is a perspective that I have not had that much exposure to, and reading this heartbreaking, anxiety-inducing, personal tale against the backdrop of a complex and chaotic political landscape, was a unique experience for me, to say the least. I found myself identifying heavily with Rasa and some of the inner turmoil he felt. A great study in introspection and recognition of self, I found this book refreshing, and truly appreciated hearing this earnest voice.
