This Way Out by Tufayel Ahmed

Julie’s first review of the year

it was amazing
great story

There was so much in this story. I cried and laughed. There was also so much to learn with this story. I loved the discussion on grief and his coming to terms with his sexuality and religion.

really liked it
4.5 ⭐️

I really enjoyed this book. It was fast paced, great story line and good twists. I also appreciated it was a world where queerness just existed. The animals (obedah) could talk and I love a good talking animal.
