The Butterfly Mosque: A Young American Woman's Journey to Love and Islam by G. Willow Wilson

4.0

I picked this up because the author wrote a book I loved (Alif the Unseen) and a comic that I'm currently reading (Ms. Marvel). Also, she grew up in Colorado (where I live!) and plays WoW (a fact that is not mentioned in the book but I will add because I also play). I can't speak as to the spiritual aspects of Wilson's memoir, as I am an atheist, but the parts about how she met and built a relationship with her husband were charming. I also learned a number of things about Islam about which I was previously unaware (see above). I hope that one day she will write another memoir about having kids, writing comics, and transitioning back to the USA with her husband. I'd pick it up too!
