LOVED this book so much!!!
lately i've been a bit of a lazy reader only reading here and there but i knew i wanted to finish this one and so i sat down and read. and my gosh, did this book not disappoint me.
i loved the family dynamics, the friendships, how Islam was broadly discussed as well as interracial marriages and the problem of islamophobia that unfortunately is still a very active problem in the world. i loved how there was not only one romance that was told but two and both beautifully told might i add!
i think this book would also be good for non-muslims to read as it's a good insight into what ramadan is all about and a lot of the core values of muslims and what our religion is truly about.
this is a book i will no doubt be talking about for ages and it's definitely up there in my favourites! i'll definitely be re-reading it too! it was so wholesome.
