Ayesha at Last was so good!!! I got halfway through and didn’t want to finish it because I knew I was going to be sad when I did.
This was such a great Pride and Prejudice retelling as the previous one I read just didn’t hit for me. Every big plot point in the original fit (more or less) with this adaptation. My only gripe with the story was that I thought act two and the ending was a little rushed because the author spent half the book on Ayesha and Khalid’s budding feelings. And that part I loved!! This whole book was a slow burn enemies to lovers and I loved it. And it’s absolutely hilarious too (Masood’s texts 🤣🤣🤣 IYKYK) there were many times while reading that I just had to close the book to laugh my butt off. 10/10 would recommend.
