Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. You Exist Too Much by Zaina Arafat is a powerful debut that tells the story of a woman caught between cultural, religious and sexual identities.
What We Say: “An exquisitely written and delightfully shambolic coming-of-age novel following a Palestinian-American girl trapped between two cultures as she navigates queerness, obsessions and tumultuous relationships. Told in vignettes that flit between the Middle East and the US, it maps her self-destructive search to find love and a place to call home” – Samantha de Haas
What They Say: ”A thought-provoking exploration of love and belonging, and how the two come together to create a sense of self” – New European
Available on Bookshop.org, Waterstones and Barnes & Noble
