This was a quick read for me and I really enjoyed it. It took me some time to get behind Nishat and Flávia together but there were handfuls of scenes that sold them to me. I smiled and I teared up reading this book.
Parts of both Nishat and Flávia's stories painfully spoke to me. I found myself reflected in both characters, even if some of our experiences varied. Thank you, Adiba Jaigridar, for writing this book "to the queer brown girls".
