I find memoirs and essays from immigrants and other countries so important and enlightening. Here, Khakpour uses her voice to show how being a refugee and Middle Eastern in a country that has a tumultuous past with both has shaped her. She explores her identity of being Iranian and being American and how she can love and struggle with each at times.

5/5🌟Relevant, moving, honest and eye opening essays about being an Iranian immigrant in America. Through memories Porochista shares what everyday diaspora feels like. She explores her search for identity, touching on mental health, creative writing, and more. This was a deeply honest read. Another book white people should be required to read in my opinion. Her memoir SICK was interesting reading as well. #bookreview
