Aamna Qureshi is a Pakistani, Muslim American who adores words. She is an award-winning and USA Today, Amazon, and Times bestselling author who grew up on Long Island, New York, in a very loud household, surrounded by English (for school), Urdu (for conversation), and Punjabi (for emotion). Much of her childhood was spent being grounded for reading past her bed-time, writing stories in the backs of her notebooks, and being scolded by teachers for passing chapters under the tables. Through her writing, she wishes to inspire a love for the beautiful country and rich culture that informed much of her identity.

When she's not writing, she loves to travel to new places where she can explore different cultures or to Pakistan where she can revitali

New Book Deal!

Screen Shot 2021-06-15 at 4.50.11 PM.png

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
