We Have Always Been Here by Samra Habib

emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

I wasn't expecting to find Habib's memoir relatable, since our lives have had little in common, but the way they distill the queer experience so beautifully resonated with me deeply. Some of their passages on parent relationships, coming out, the inner child, and, most of all, chosen family overwhelmed me with emotion. This is a gorgeous, poignant memoir, written in accessible, sharp prose, at once entirely singular and, at its heart, universally queer. Already one of my favorites of this year.
