A review by whattaylorreads
Hijab Butch Blues by Lamya H

challenging informative reflective slow-paced

3.75

I learned a lot about the Qu'ran from listening to this book, and I liked the chapters that connected to the stories from the Qu'ran. I had a hard time with the non-linear storytelling (which is usually a problem with listening to audiobooks for me), but that's not a dealbreaker. This book is well-written, deeply personal, and is a prime example of the theme, "there is no one way to be queer." It's always hard to read stories that are so different from your own and trying to find ways to connect with the story, so sometimes I felt like I had to push myself to keep going, but I am glad Lamya was brave and given the opportunity to share her story.
