The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak

5.0

What a charming book it is! I never knew that I would fall in love with it this much.

The story of Ella and Sweet Blasphemy-- it was beautifully presented, lyrically and metaphorical described. I love Shams' story, him and Rumi what a wonderful love story-- full of wisdom and lesson to learn, how a friendship could build and be missed in a day. All the characters that took part in their journey, how I myself keep on thinking about all Shams' rules-- nerve-wracking at some point, worrisome at another, thought provoking but still very lovely and I couldn't resist from admiring Shams of Tabriz.

About Ella and and her family, and Aziz-- it takes a manuscript for a person to look and learn again the true meaning of 'love'. Emotionally and mentally beautiful.

I will definitely read this book again in future. In fact, I already miss Shams :'))
