Ayesha at Last by Uzma Jalaluddin
3.0
Overall, this book was enjoyable read and I probably would have rated this higher if it wasn't marketed as a "modern day Pride and Prejudice". It didn't give me enough Jane Austen. And being let into the love interests' POV so early on sort of ruins the mystery Mr Darcy came with.
More than anything, I hated Khaled's makeover. Why was it necessary for him to wear a suit, trim his beard, and agree to compromise his principles by shaking hands with a woman in some stupid revenge plot? And work for a lingerie firm? I saw no improvement in Amir in terms of growing any principle and why was the fact that he literally bugged Clara's office with pervy intentions glossed over? Why was Khaled the one who needed to "edit" himself?
Also, Ayesha's poetry sucks
