This was super cute! I feel like I learned a lot about what it's like to date for some Muslim women. I think the only thing that was lacking a bit for me was the love triangle, which fell a little short in the connection department. I loved the idea of one of the men being a childhood friend and the other being someone new who was just getting to know her but I didn't FULLY feel anything for either option. I was starting to but it felt a little underdeveloped. I wanted a bit more. That being said though, I still really did enjoy myself with this. It was funny and full of meddling family. This was a fun rom-com!

I LOVED THIS NARRATION VOICE

as much as I didn't really love the whole love triangle between them, I could honestly could overlook it because I enjoyed the rom com feel sooo much!

I don't think I've enjoyed meeting a character as much as I did with Samira, I'd love to read more about her, honestly 👀

In conclusion, I recommend this book if you wanna meet a fantastic main character and feel all the rom com feels!!!!

Ps. I've never watched The Princess Bride, and this book truly convinced me to watch it now!

It’s not bad; the writing style just isn’t resonating with me, and no characters/plot have hooked my interest. I find my attention wandering pretty often, so just don’t think it’s for me.
