A review by yumnas
Written in the Stars by Aisha Saeed

2.0

I like that this book was written at all. People think that forced marriages only happen in under developed countries, or in certain cultures. However, sometimes, girls in our own neighborhoods are being forced, whether it be implicitly or explicitly. But, since that was the goal, did it have to be done while hitting every single south Asian, Muslim, and immigrant family stereotype?? That being said, I did not like that the author did not at any point mention that, in Islam, a forced marriage is not valid at all.
