Ayesha at Last by Uzma Jalaluddin
4.0

Alright, I'll admit it: I thought it would be a little hackneyed at first, but this book grew on me a lot, and I ended up liking it. It's a pretty direct retelling of Pride and Prejudice, but with many cute details and cultural notes added, and the emotions never feel forced. I'm glad I picked it up! (One thing- did Nana win the gardening contest? Inquiring minds want to know!)
