Description: July's selection is You Exist Too Much by Zaina Arafat! 📚 In You Exist Too Much, Zaina Arafat takes us on the immersive journey of one Palestinian-American queer girl's search for love, identity, and ultimately, her mother's approval. I watched with anxiety as this imperfect--at times self-sabotaging--main character fought through her "love addiction." I rooted for her and hurt for her as she tried to find her way through one bad decision after another. The main character, whose name is never revealed, stayed with me long after I closed the book, as did her hope for yet another shot at love. 📚 #AmeriesBookClub #ReadwithAmerie #ABC #YouExistTooMuch @ameriesbookclub @Catapult ABOUT ZAINA ARAFAT Zaina Arafat is a queer Palestinian-American writer and the author of the novel, You Exist Too Much, an Indie Next Pick for June.
