An intensely brave, beautifull honest, and wryly funny story 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, without question. But when he starts crushing on the ridiculously cute captain of the soccer team, so many things he'd always been so sure about are becoming questions:
Music is haram. But what if you're only listening to the Wicked soundtrack because you're being forced to play on the soccer team (with Captain Handsome!)?
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?
Allah is merciful and makes no mistakes. Sooooooo isn't Ramin just the way Allah intended him to be?
And so why should you have to choose between living your truth and living a lie?
