New Book Deal!

It’s been a long journey getting here! I first wrote this book in the spring of 2016, when I was a senior in high school. I was going through a lot of the aches and pains my main character, Zahra, was going through and dealing with a lot of the same confusions and discomforts that accompany growing up. Everything seemed like a question mark. Everything hurt. 

I didn’t know how to navigate this w

Quotes by Aamna Qureshi  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“It feels like everything leading up to meeting you was just the prologue to my life; after meeting you, the real story began. Like my real life started the day I met you. Which is all to say—I love you. Deeply, passionately, madly, I love you.”
― Aamna Qureshi, The Baby Dragon Café

“My life had been so full, so why had I felt so empty in it?”
― Aamna Qureshi, When a Brown Girl Flees
tags: life

“Reading it feels like going out to the sea from the sands: at first, the waves are gentle and shy against my feet on the shoreline, lukewarm and sweet; but as I go farther and farther into the waters, the waves crash over me, cold and unrelenting, submerging me, leaving me gasping for breath, until finally, I am drowning in the story. It’s a bit like falling in love.”
― Aamna Qureshi, If I Loved You Less
