This was a lot of fun! I really liked getting to know Janna and her family even better. I really liked Sarah the more I got to know her. I also love learning more about the Muslim faith! I didn't know that LOVE FROM A TO Z takes place in the same world!

This light confection of a book will appeal to young teens who enjoy romance, wedding prep, and family drama from the refreshing perspective of a Muslim teen. Great escape reading for the beach or pandemic isolation.

I really love the issues and messages that S.K Ali weaves within the story she tells. The muslim representation presented in the book was so good in my opinion. Its one of those feel good books that ends up teaches you so much, it continued to suprise me till the very end.
Of course with this being a wedding themed book it was also very joyous and engaging with the added nostalgia, it felt like you were part of it too. I loved how the chapter parts were designed as different invitations to the wedding events. I also loved how we got a cameo of one of my favourite couples from S.K Ali's other book. I literally squealed.
So glad that I picked up this book, now I gonna go recommend it to everyone.

Me: reserved, still learning to open my heart to a bigger circle of people. Still learning about my capacity to give and love.
it took me while to be into this book mainly because it doesn't feel like a continuation of saint and misfits. i was expecting something different than what was happening when this book started.
that being said, i still loved this book. and i absolutely love janna's character just as i did in saint and misfits. maybe even more. i can totally relate with her character in this book, to the point where i bawled my eyes out because we were in similar places and had similar thoughts.
adam and zayneb attending the nikah also put a smile on my face. i didn't expect zayneb would have a big appearance. she was even interacting with janna! i really thought she (and adam) was just gonna be mentioned.
what i also totally didn't expect was sausun and haytham! i'm not opposed to reading a novella about them [eye emoji]
Well, all I'm going to say is this: Let there be all kinds of love.

Misfits in love was such a cute book. But it only took place in the span of a couple days so it felt slow here and there.
But i loved ALL the characters and i LOVED seeing Zaynab and Adam!!
I would LOVE to read a book about Sausun. And i wished i had these books when i was a teen myself.

this is more so a 3.75 maybe a four stars???
I will say this book is a bit better than the first one, and I really enjoyed the story that S.K. Ali chose. I also appreciated seeing Janna grow as a character, especially now that she is attending college. Some moments I relate to her in terms of figuring yourself in your character, relationships, and her sense of justice. I think Ali could be one of my favorite authors in general, but in regards to telling stories about being authentically Muslim, I'd say she is a favorite within that aspect without a doubt. It was nice seeing an adamzayneb cameo in the story as well (prob gonna reread their books).
