An ode to the courage it takes to live with authenticity. --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

A sparkling...ambitious, thoughtful, and funny (Teen Vogue) debut novel about a gay Muslim teen who has to choose between being true to himself or his faith--and his realization that maybe they aren't as separate as he thought.

Ramin Abbas has spent his whole life obeying his parents, his Imam, and, of course, Allah--no questions asked. But when he starts crushing on the ridiculously handsome captain of the soccer team, so many things he'd always been so sure about are becoming questions:

1. Music is haram. But what if the Wicked soundtrack is the only thing keeping you sane because you're being forced to play on the soccer team? With Captain Handsome?!

2. A boy crush is double haram, and Ramin's parents will never accept it. But can he really be the only Muslim on Earth who feels this way?

3. Allah is merciful and makes no mistakes. Then isn't Ramin just the way Allah intended him to be?

And so why should living your truth but losing everything--or living a lie and losing yourself--have to be a choice?!
