How We Met: A Memoir of Love and Other Misadventures by Huma Qureshi
HOW WE MET by HUMA QURESHI
Like a lot of Bookstagrammers, I first heard about this book when @thebooksheelf was raving about it. I’m so glad I picked it up!
This is the memoir of Huma and her journey to finding and falling in love. Her journey was slightly more tumultuous — not because she didn’t find love — but because she found love in a white English man. Huma is Muslim of Pakistani decent and her parents wanted her to marry someone with the same values — meaning, someone from the same background. But Richard is none of these things…
In this memoir, we also read about Huma‘s experience with finding potential husbands through her mum’s network (forgotten the proper name for it now), but unfortunately this isn’t successful.
I loved the honesty in this book, especially around grief and struggles with finding love. I think a lot of people will find solace in these words. I know I did.
P.S. I met my husband when my sister was going out with his friend. We did not like each other at first!
