You Exist Too Much--#75 finished

A Palestinian young woman is struggling in her life.  She is bi-sexual but cannot let her family know this.  Her parents are divorced and she mostly lived with her mom but her mom was tough to live with.  she almost was like living in the shadow of her mom.  And with her troubled relationship with her mom, it carries over into making trouble with the relationships she gets in.  The book reads almost autobiographical in many ways since the main character is a writer too that goes to Iowa writing school as author did too.  The book sort of ends on a hopeful note where main character is in a good relationship even if her mother cannot approve.  This was a good and interesting read.

There are 7 WL for this book on PBS so like so many others I will file away for now & probably post at some point down the line when more in need of credits.
