This was a beautiful book and I enjoyed reading it despite how sad this book is. The way Samra was able to share her story was eloquently written.

I loved this book, it was great to find someone who also felt the same way about Islam when they found out they were queer.

we have always been here is a memoir focused on the intersection of habib's queerness and muslim identities. while it's good to see habib's gradual growth and self-discovery thruout the yrs - thru the different ppl, places and experiences she encounters - imo the book isnt as compelling as it could be. there are moments of brilliance here and there, but for such an interesting and rarely exploted subject matter of the life of a queer muslim woman, i expected it to be a bit better.
