Salaam, with Love by Sara Sharaf Beg

5.0

If you want to kick off Ramadan with a fun HALAL romance I would suggest Salaam, with Love. A lot of the book focuses more on Dua (the main character) reconnecting with her faith, family and culture during Ramadan. The beginning of the novel is slow, but I think that is a bit intentional. Dua grows a lot as a character and faces a lot of hurdles along the way. We see topics around Islamaphobia addressed in the story and other modern day issues that many young Muslims face. Its a very sweet story and much of the romance is towards the end. The build up prior to the ending makes it all worth it. Finding a parther as a Muslim is complicated. I think the novel shows the journey to find that partner well.
