This book makes me want to read more memoirs! And also friend chase Lamya. A moving exploration of queerness, faith, belonging, immigration, and family (chosen and otherwise!). I really enjoyed her reflections - sometimes the jumping timeline was a little jarring and I wish she dug deeper into some elements/feelings but all in all really enjoyed it! Highly recommend for queer folks, people of faith, and everyone else!
