A review by marabdelmageed
We Have Always Been Here, by Samra Habib

challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

This book absolutely gutted me in the best way possible. As a queer Muslim, I have never felt more seen, more accepted, more valid, than when I read this book. Seeing Samra heal and grow into herself, seeing her find a community of queer Muslims, seeing her not only maintain her faith, but strengthen it -- not despite her queerness, but because of it -- was something I did not realize I needed. This book made me cry in pain, in sadness, and in hope.
