The structure of the book was really neat, flashbacks that were hinted at in the previous chapter in very clear ways that the knowledge in the flashback changes the reading of the conversation. It was fun to see Shakespeare and Muslim culture be intertwined!

I love retellings/reimaginings, and this was a beautiful Persuasian-inspired novel!
I loved the second-chance romance and right person, wrong time tropes in this that told a beautiful story in a way that was also insight into a community I don't know that much about.
I look forward to reading more of Jalaluddin's work!
