Sofia Khan is Not Obliged
by Ayisha Malik
All’s well that ends well I guess? My heart did flutter with that ending, even though it was…problematic.
*2.5 stars
Sofia has her shining moments (like when she talks about her religion and her bouts of wisdom regarding relationships) but the journal entry style was not my cup of tea, sometimes her (Sofia the character who was also a writer) writing isn’t all that compelling, and the progression of the romance was predictable. the book suffers from tropey characters, none of them i could care about.
about conall. he was very sweet and all and oh so yummy, but the very idea that she would end up with a white man….just, why? yet they voice problems when a friend of hers is dating a black man like, ohhhh boy, what’s this now? (though that arc did get a happy ending). but the conversion…it’s so tricky. did we really need all this in a light novel? i’m all for converting if that’s where your faith leads you, but this was unnecessary to sofia’s journey. and this novel is about sofia’s journey, which frankly wasnt much. we find her the same as she started.
i would have been fine with an entirely muslim cast of characters, just give them character!

i could smell a mile away that naim was a douche. i’ve met so many guys like him. i’m glad he was served with a bland ending. he didn’t deserve that much thought, and i applaud sofia and the author for how they handled naim. all the time he was calling sofie and asking her “what the hell is wrong with you? why are you not picking up?” i wanted to yell WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU NAIM YOU ENTITLED BASTARD. sorry, past trauma resurfacing lmao. everyone should know that he should have known he was doing something wrong and yet he’s pinning all the blame on sofie. if he didnt know he did something wrong then that’s entirely another problem. god, it irks me that men like that exist in real life.about conall. he was very sweet and all and oh so yummy, but the very idea that she would end up with a white man….just, why? yet they voice problems when a friend of hers is dating a black man like, ohhhh boy, what’s this now?
