5.0

This is a great book if you’re looking for something with an uncomplicated plot, but still something reflective and important. If you don’t enjoy romance, this book is also enjoyable because of its amazing role models and insightful stories. It gives light to Muslim and brown struggles without victimization or in a way that incites hate. Hana Khan manages to be a flawed and well fleshed out character who’s human. She’s allowed to have niche interests that deviate form south Asian stereotypes. I would love to see a sequel, as there are some unanswered questions, but the book seems done and we’ll just have to assume. Overall, I love the book and it was an easy, fun, read.
