A review by camokclay
Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H

emotional reflective medium-paced

4.0

I appreciated how honest this book was in a way that was really unapologetic. I really appreciated how Lamya spoke about her journey of queerness and opening up to people about it and her elaborating about the boundary not to tell her parents. She challenges the narrative that queerness is validated by being out about it and upon reflection caused me to challenge, reflect on, and change previously held beliefs. I enjoyed the mix of stories in here and it was nice to learn more about the Quran.
