Ayesha At Last by Uzma Jalaluddin

---

A fun Austen-inspired romance with all the yearning and strict social rules of a Regency-era story (zero spice here) and all the drama of a telenovela (it was actually a little *too* silly/dramatic/unbelievable for me at some points). The wide spectrum of Muslim characters represented made for a rich, complex cast that educated me on some things about the faith and culture. I’d say this is a must-read for fans of Pride & Prejudice as well as for habitual contemporary rom com readers looking for more diverse love stories.
