Hafsa sucked, i felt so bad that ayesha constantly had to cover up for her mistakes. when Hafsa said that
Ayesha's DEAD dad could have been a gangster and throwing jabs at how much she didn't want to be like her (unmarried and 'old')
all I could think was that I don't think I could tolerate that especially from someone who supposed to be family. Oh and fuck Farzana
for what she did to her daughter

Uzma Jalaluddin has quickly become a must-read author for me. She can write anything and I'll read it. I love that her characters tend to be in their mid-late twenties and still figuring things out. Too often authors just don't write that age and either make their protagonists very young, or make them have everything figured out by 30. Her characters are so sweet and unique and I love watching their growth in a book. This one definitely had some wild, over the top moments (Tarek's whole plotline, etc), but I still had a lot of fun with the book. I can't wait to see what's next from Jalaluddin.
