Anxious book that deals brilliantly with queerphobia, despair and hope. Complex characters, very well written espacially Rukhsana who is really strong and inspiring.

Rukhsana Will do just about anything to keep her parents from finding out she’s a lesbian because she knows they will lose it, which creates tension with her girlfriend who just doesn’t understand why she can’t come out to them. A stressful but excellent read. Wasn’t a fan of the privileged/unsupportive girlfriend, and Rhukhsana’s parents suck, but still enjoyable.
