I really enjoyed this. It's very sweet. The romance felt a bit of a sub plot, but I was ok with it. And you actually kinda get two romances in one. It's well written and flows. I think this is a great book for any non Muslim to learn about the traditions of Ramadan or any young adult Muslims who may be having trouble with how they fit in to the religion.

this is such a sweet, heartwarming story. it’s perfect for ramadan, i kind of wish i picked it up then. this book is the best muslim representation i’ve ever read, the constant mention of Allah, Dua constantly striving to be a better muslim, the vibe of ramadan, everything was just amazing. I also really loved the way the author included the troubles and islamaphobia muslims face on a day to day basis, but the way she handles it in the book and the way Dua understands how this dunya is meant to be a test, i just love it. And Dua and Hassan’s interactions oh my god, Hassan constantly caring for her and looking at her eee so cute. the ending has my heart i love the relationship Dua manages to build with her family and i NEED a sequel rn

This is a book that I wish I had when I was younger! I loved watching Dua go on this beautiful journey with her faith in the book. There were some parts of the book that I felt were unnecessary, especially considering that this is lighthearted young adult novel, but overall, I enjoyed it and would recommend it. I especially loved that this book takes place during Ramadaan and that it contains so much about Islam and the Qur'aan.

ANOTHER 5 STAR AND A DEFINITE READ FOR ALL MY MUSLIM GIRLIESSS!!!
Salaam, with Love is about a girl named Dua who travels to NY to spend Ramadan with her cousins who she hasn't seen in 5 years. During this trip she becomes determined to connect with her family, faith and her future by tackling different aspects she feels she's struggling with.
"Ramadan is not just about learning to be grateful for the food and other blessings in our lives, but also about remembering God often and forming good habits, like praying on time and reading Qur'an often"
This is a book I recommend a lot of muslim girls to read it hyped me up for Ramadan and was so relateable to me. I, myself, am a South Asian Muslim just like Dua and just like her I am trying to figure out my own life and journey. I found all of these beautiful characters to be incredibly relateable and her struggles I saw as my own.
This book really tackles dilemmas a lot of Muslim girls face as they grow up like the prospects of marriage and making sure to have respectable careers. It's able to put perspective on the pressures faced which I adored so much. I feel like after reading this book I am ready to fast during Ramadan and I wanna be closer to my religion.
