this gave me so much to think about and lamya did so well talking about their queerness in conjunction with their love for their religion!! i loved the explanations of each prophet or figure in the quran and how lamya related it to their own life and their own experiences!

okay i actually Really enjoyed this and it was so nice seeing so many parts of the indian american experience reflected in a book. 3.75 only bc it felt repetitive after a while and also a lil too horny for my taste but overall really good! the last two stories rlly broke me 😭

ehonestly i didn't really get it, it just felt like a very long winded back and forth for me for most of it until i talked about it with my boyfriend who said that therapy is just getting worse and better and worse again and i kinda got it? her writing is still really gripping and sharp and witty to read so i was okay w not really liking these characters. also the commentary on their race and class and smartness was cool and tied in well! but overall idk this just didnt do it for me im sorry sally rooney stans
