So glad you enjoyed Shmutz and Dykette!! Totally agree with your super eloquent assessment of those books. Schmutz is so thoughtful in the exploration of community and family, and Sasha is so assertive of herself and sort of imposing her identity onto others

Noor, I was so glad to be reminded of some books you read throughout 2023 that I had wanted to take a look at but forgot! So, yay. I’m so happy for you that you’re graduating this May! 🎉. The same thing happened to me after reading The Wall. I think much more about it now than I did when I had read it.
