Reviews with content warning for Islamophobia - Love from A to Z

One of my favourite reads this year not only is it one of the best muslim romances out there but it tackled lots of huge problems really well like islamophobia, multiple sclerosis and death of loved ones. I related so much to Zayneb in many ways and I loved her her sense of not wanting to sit still and having to stand in front of the many injustices in this world. Loved the idea of the marvels and oddities I'll even make a journal myself and the author managed it so well along with the multiple povs. Also loved the family dynamics so much it made my heart warm. In conclusion this is an excellent book and I can't wait to read more of Adam and Zayneb.

I think you don’t realize how much a book that you can relate to can have an affect on you until you read one. I’ve never read a book that the character where like me.
Love story wise I wished they had more conversations to be honest, it felt rushed and a bit of insta love. What I do like though is that because it’s a Muslim love story; emotional is the only way they can build a relationship (no physical relationship) and so it’s build up is organic. I’m familiar with all the sayings and duas and the feeling of familiarity and warmth I got while reading this book was so unexpected.
I loved the combatting islamophobia plot lines, especially the swimsuit plot line because I have seen it happen numerous times.

This book does a great job of demonstrating what modern-day Muslims go through daily. I loved how there was always a positive for every negative, a great reminder of how we shouldn't dwell on everything that goes wrong in our life. The characters' dynamics together were really refreshing to me, it was nice seeing loving and caring families. An accurate representation of the characteristics Muslims aim to exhibit
