Unashamed: Musings of a Fat, Black Muslim
by Leah Vernon
emotional
reflective
fast-paced
TW for this book includes: mentions of molestation, rape, spousal abuse, Islamaphobia, racism, fat-phobia
This book is probably a lot better than my rating suggests. There were moments that really hit me and I'm glad there is such a very honest and beautiful story. It's only that I didn't particularly love the writing itself. There were times when the flow didn't work for me, moments of jumping back and forth that had me stumbling over sentences. I would have liked it to have been slightly better edited as well. Overall I think this book has some really interesting things to say, I just would have liked the writing to have kept pace with the ideas.
