A review by dhatislandbookworm
Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H

emotional reflective medium-paced

I have no words to accurately describe how amazing this memoir was. 

 

It was raw, introspective and Lamya manages to beautifully capture their experience of being a queer, non-binary Muslim. 

 

I was immediately intrigued by how Lamya used stories and figures from the Quran to segue into how they relate to specific parts of her life. This memoir is also not in chronological order, but it worked here because the writing was so compelling. 

I’ll be honest, I know this won’t be for everyone because of the content. However, I highly recommend giving it a chance because you won’t be disappointed.
