The Loophole by Naz Kutub

3.0

I really enjoyed this book overall - from the jetsetting nature of it to the juxtaposition of the djinni story, it all flowed really nicely. There were parts I wish we lingered on, like Sy's relationship with his father and the fallout of the breakup with Farouk, but it still manages to be a fun read despite all of the complicated issues it touches on. There's so much homophobia and islamophobia throughout this book (purposefully so), and we get to see how the Muslim community view the radical sects they're often generalized to. From LA to Marrakech, the book flies by on a private jet and I just wish we had more time with it.
