Ayesha at Last by Uzma Jalaluddin

4.0

I really did love this book, I’m trying to be stingier with my 5 star reviews though. The story like it’s inspiration “Pride and Prejudice” can be highly frustrating at times. Normally I burn through books pretty quickly but this one had to be taken in doses.

There are a lot of cultural aspects of this book that I genuinely enjoyed getting a picture of. The book is set in a majority immigrant community in Canada and so you can imagine the diverse characters.
When I did get over the initial culture shock I laughed out loud and loved the witty misinterpreted characters and their crazy plans.
This book honestly covers a lot of ground, it touches on religious prejudice and in the dangers of letting other people run your life and dictate who you will be.

I loved this one and highly recommend it.
