caprivoyant's review
The angst! The confusion! The all-too-easy tendency to get a little lost in family's opinions! Ah!
This story was told with so much tenderness. I adored getting to know Samira and her family as Samira got to know herself. Watching her prioritize the life she wanted made this the sweetest read book I've read in a long time.
Will definitely be trying to get my hands on other books by this author.

If seeing HP references is a trigger for you, just a heads up that there is a sort of reference in here? An ex is called "He Who Shall Not Be Named" at one point. I believe it was only mentioned once.aroseshaw's review against another edition

I thought this was a cute and funny rom-com about two people who fall in love in the context of the Islamic religion. I found it to be written in a very sarcastic tone wish I love. The character development and romance between the two characters is realistic and slowly progressing.
