i didn't like how sometimes india and pakistan were presented as being backwards and there was one part like this isn't india or pakistan you can do whatever you want. i'm paraphrasing here but the general gist was that over there people don't have much choice in who they marry and how they live their life. and it didn't really sit well with me. but I'll read some more from this author before i can form a valid opinion

Regardless, I enjoyed Ayesha and Khalid's own stories and seeing how they each navigated them. Ayesha especially is a badass, and while I wasn't sure how I felt about Khalid, by the end, I liked him too. They have some really adorable moments together, but I was left wanting more! I give this a pass because the familial drama was so fun to read about but, for a romance, I'd like a bit more between the heroine and hero!
I found that the antagonists were a bit too obviously awful, literally no one likes people like Sheila. It also felt like the other antagonist only existed to create a third act conflict.
Overall, Ayesha At Last is a fun, light-hearted romance with some good family feels. I appreciate reading from a perspective I don't see a lot in media. Would love to read more from this author.
