If I Loved You Less by Aamna Qureshi

4.0

‘If I Loved You Less’ by Aamna Qureshi was exactly what I needed. It's a love story and a modern retelling of Emma. Firstly, let’s talk about the South Asian and Muslim representation here. As I am not a member of this community, this was a significant strength of the book. I'm familiar with the story of Emma, so I could easily follow the plot, and it opened a window into the experiences of another culture for me. I love it! I will note that it took me longer to read this book than others as I had to keep opening Google to ensure I understood all familial connections. I love that this book also opened my eyes to Muslim/Pakistani fashion! My Instagram algorithm has been flooded with some of the most beautiful garments! I am here for it! I love Fawad, and I both want to shake and hug Humaira. But the standout character for sure was Humaira’s father. I laughed and cried, and I would highly recommend Aamna Qureshi to anyone looking for a sweet romance. 


Thanks so much to Aamna Qureshi, Harper Collins One More Chapter and NetGalley for the eARC. This book will be released June 17th, 2024
