2023 was surely the year of memoirs for me and this didn't disappoint. As someone who didn't grow up with religion and knows more of the ugly than the good, I came away changed. It is rare intersecting identities complete contradict each other. They merely lead to complexities. Lamya was a solid narrator. The narrative structure worked very well and solidified her points. I'll still think about certain interwoven anecdotes. It was a wonderful book.
