All of the warnings should be fairly obvious going into this. The material is hard to contend with at times, but very very worth it.invaderday's review against another edition

As a queer person in my early 20s it feels amazing to get to read a coming of age story that doesnt stop where I am now. Most of the growth in the story happens much later in her life, especially romantically which was good for me to hear.
The religious aspects of the book were also very interesting to me as I don't know a ton about Islam and seeing the differences and similarities between these narratives and Jewish ones was super interesting.
also the bit about learning to be less self sufficient had me by the throat it was so good.
