This was my first read of the year and it was incredible. I finished it in two days! It’s a memoir telling the story of the author’s experiences as a queer Muslim, and listening to it as an audiobook in the author’s own voice made it that much more emotive and evocative.
Habib’s recounting of her childhood, conflicts with her family, and threats from extremists can get quite heavy with her descriptions of discrimination and abuse but as the title suggests, her story is ultimately hopeful as she learns more about herself and where in the world she belongs. This is a beautiful story about community and the strength of people finding those with similar experiences and creating a joyful life.
