"Queering Constellations" is one of the most unique memoirs I have ever read. The writing, stories, and poetry will expand your worldview. This carefully constructed interactive memoir makes you laugh, smile, and remember how truly divine our journeys are.

• Shanita Hubbard, Author of the award-winning book Ride-Or-Die: A Feminist Manifesto For The Well-Being of Black Women.

In Queering Constellations, Raja Gopal Bhattar provides multiple gifts for their readers. Raja opens up about their own journey to radical self-acceptance and knowledge, and they also provide readers with prompts and ideas to reflect on their own path. It's a vulnerable and authentic offering that will especially resonate with young South Asians grappling with the complexities of identity, ancestry and community in today's world.

"Raja's book is a deeply intimate yet playful and compassionate memoir, one that immediately captured my heart and mind. You feel like you're sitting with a dear friend, who takes your hand and welcomes you into a shared sacred space of beauty, divinity and power. It is not just Raja's story told to you in a linear way, it is truly a conversation between them and you, the reader. This book is a gift for anyone who wants to feel less alone in our fractured world. A reminder that that humanity we share with each other can be delightful, playful, and magical - and worth fighting for."

• Madhuri Shekar, Playwright & Screenwriter of A Good Indian Boy

"Dr. Bhattar beautifully and skillfully invites us not only into their heart, but into our own hearts as well. Each page is simultaneously a memory and a guide through love, pain, and self-expression. A must-read!"
