*4.5 stars
This book is so pure, wholesome, heart wrenching and heartwarming all at the same time. This story of Adam and Zeynab felt like a warm hug, full of comfort and love. The Islamic representation was done really well, and it wasnt too much or too little.

 “Maybe that's what living is--recognizing the marvels and oddities around you.”

Aaah I really enjoyed this book! It was so good! I loved reading it, Adam and Zayneb have my whole heart and I really need more stories like this in my life, with more Muslim representation and disability representation that is actually positive and accurate! The character's struggles and beliefs were so clear throughout the whole novel and I just loved reading about them falling in love. I felt for these characters so much. This was really good.

A very beautiful story with a message of utmost importance. I enjoyed the characters - it was easy to like them, to feel for them, and to root for them. I really enjoyed the format of this book; I wasn't sure if I would enjoy a story presented to me as diary entries, but this was done so well that I couldn't not stand behind the choice. Not to mention how fun and smart the idea of them sharing a 'wonders and rarities' diary is. The meaning behind this alone is impactful, and to my delight, there were so many more impactful points. To all the Zaynebs out there, keep fighting for what you stand for; and to all the Adams, kudos to you!

Maybe that's what living is; recognizing the marvels and oddities around you.

This book is a beautiful Muslim marvel and it made me really happy. I really ought to read Love From Mecca to Madina too.

This book isn't perfect but I remember it warming my heart like hot cocoa so 5 stars it is!

Listen I gotta say Muslim authors just KNOW how to write tender innocent love, how to write longing and tension. Ah I am in awe. This book was a beautiful journey. It made me cry, it made me laugh and awe and giggle. Ali is a wonderful writer and I love how she masterfully incorporated important topics in this beautiful love story. How even though we are not perfect but we can always try to be better for our loved ones. How even the bravest soldiers, can be a little weak sometimes and the hidden strength of that weakness. I love love love this book and I look forward to reading more of Ali’s work. ❤️❤️❤️

This was such a good read!! It was my first time reading a book with muslim protagonists and it did not disappoint. Adam and Zayneb are such likeable characters and their Marvels and Oddities journals are encouraging me to think a bit more about the seemingly mundane things in life. I would definitely recommend this book :)
