Life as a Unicorn: A Journey from Shame to Pride and Everything in Between by Amrou Al-Kadhi

4.5
An incredibly moving account of growing up Queer and Muslims. Life as a Unicorn is a powerful recounting of trauma and rage, and the slow creeping towards healing. Emotional and astoundingly honest, I was so struck by Amrou's strength, spirit, and ability to find it within themslef to forgive. What an amazing soul.
