i love lesbians and i love queer memoirs and how they are almost always stories about hope which i also love and i love queer people who are religious i think they understand God better than anyone else. 

while i do not consider myself to be as religious as her, nor am i muslim, i found there to be many moments when reading that i found my experiences with both my own faith and queerness mirrored but none moreso than early on in the book when lamya comes out for the first time and afterward says "i pray that night for God to help me, like He helped Musa, in all that will follow this moment. this moment of receiving this miracle, my miracle, from God" 😭😭her miracle from God😭😭 and mine too😭 i think being bisexual and able to tell people that and living a happy queer life is one of the best wonders of my life and i am grateful everyday for this blessing!
