Ayesha at Last by Uzma Jalaluddin

4.0

3.5, really. I liked the characters a lot; the story felt a bit cluttered and all over the place, I feel like the author was trying to fit a lot in, and she did, but I think with the benefit of time, it will run more smoothly. I hope Jalaluddin keeps writing, because I love what she's doing. I love rom-com books, and the standard formula has gotten old, so I'm very much embracing this new wave of diversity that has taken the rom-com genre by storm. It has brought not only a fresh view, but some kick-ass writing (Helen Hoang and Jasmine Guillory, I'm looking at you). This wasn't to the level of kick-ass writing, but there's definitely potential there.
