I read this book in one sitting because it was so damn compelling. Once I started, I absolutely couldn't put it down. I loved following Samra's story as she discovered herself as a queer Muslim immigrant. While her story was sad at times (especially when she talked about her suicidal thoughts), it was ultimately uplifting. I'm so happy she shared her story with the world and has also given other queer Muslims a chance to share theirs.
