This book is an important part of literature on queer people’s journeys, especially because people like Al-Kadhi have so often been erased from those narratives. It’s a tough read at times, but has an ultimately satisfying ending that shows their growth and self-acceptance. I’m not a huge fan of the writing style, but I’m glad I read this book to learn more about queer, Arab, Muslim perspectives.
