Lola's Reviews > Roses, in the Mouth of a Lion

Roses, in the Mouth of a Lion takes you along Razia’s mishaps, adventures, puberty, adolescence, curiosities & friendships from the summer of 85’ to the summer of 89’ in Corona, Queens. The chapters read as vignettes and left me wanting more. I recommend going into this one blind and skipping the synopsis. Where I admired the queer Pakistani rep, in which I knowwwww is going to speak volumes for this community, it just fell a little flat and the ending was hella rushed.

Still recommend picking this one up! Especially if you are a late 80’s early 90’s kid, you’ll geek out/lol when you read the reference to the ridiculous soap opera Days of our Lives 😂
