The Love and Lies of Rukhsana Ali by Sabina Khan
5.0
This was such a great book; I couldn't put it down. Unlike other recent YA books that have a Desi-American protagonist (think From Twinkle with Love by Sandhya Menon), this novel had realistic dialogue, realistic characters and serious plotlines.

My one complaint about this book was that the ending seemed too rushed and a tad unrealistic. .
