Hijab Butch Blues

Loved, loved, loved it. My university library had it on display and I picked it up because I loved the play on Stone Butch Blues. I read it in one sitting. I didn't think it would resonate with me so much and be so full of humour, and joy, and hope,and self-love and learning. I'm so glad this book exists. Visibility of this story is everything

I'm not a Muslim nor am I queer but I thought this book was really lovely and engaging. I would not have expected to appreciate these (t0 me?) somewhat deep dives into specific verse of the Quran but Lamya writes so passionately about them that, well, I did.
