"oh - is this the thing people fight so hard to keep living for?" Dancing with lingering love, mental health, self worth, nostalgia, and our roots, Bushra Hasan's second book explores a world where we find the courage to face the truths we've kept buried within us for so long. Things We Never Talk About dedicates itself to lifetimes of raw, honest storytelling about accepting undying love, learning to apologize, wandering to places we swore we'd never return to, and daring to push boundaries that have confined us for too long now. Both quiet and deafening at the same time, these words are shaped in hopes that someone, somewhere, will find the strength to be brave.
