Super sweet romance. Despite the cultural and religious differences, the characters felt very relatable in how parental and religious pressures can simultaneously enlighten you and yet lead you astray of your best path!

Very fun Pride & Prejudice inspired (not a direct retelling) romcom set in a close-knit Toronto Muslim community. Some of the dialogue and plot points felt forced, but the concept and cast of characters carried this one.

I enjoyed this book, and enjoy anything that resembles Pride and Prejudice. I thought the two romantic leads were endearing, I just wish the book spent more time on their romance. The book had too many plots, involving too many characters to the point where I was frustrated with everyone in the book and forgot that it was even supposed to be a romance. Still, I enjoyed Ayesha and Khalid, and Nana, of course!

this was really fun! i enjoyed figuring out which character was the reimagined one from P&P. i liked how it was adapted to fit a Indian/south asian muslim community!
