Raw and honest. I love the perspective of queer Muslim women, so often ignored by western media.

A striking memoir from a voice that needs to be heard. I especially love that Samra Habib doesn't limit this book to her own story, but weaves in the perspectives of people she's met along the way. As a non-muslim, I also found this book gave a great insight into the struggles queer muslims face. Often touching, at times difficult to read, but mostly a wonderful exploration of indentity and the healing of trauma.
