Unbecoming by Seema Yasmin
This book is comped toUnpregnant, which, despite being adapted, I think is deeply underrated. Rarely are abortion-themed books humorous, but it is. That makes me especially eager to pick upYasmin’s book.
It’s a not-too-distant America where abortion is illegal. Laylah and Noor, high schoolers, have their sights on becoming an OBGYN and journalists; for right now, though, the two besties are creating an illegal guide to abortion in Texas.
Getting this guide together isn’t easy and more, it’s dangerous. While both girls are passionate about helping others access reproductive healthcare, it’s work further complicated by their mosque and a local politician. But together they’ll stand and work toward helping do what’s right.
