The plot was foreseen but I think it's perfect for beginners who would love to read a light, fast-paced English fiction! I'm actually conflicted whether to rate it as a 3 or 4 since of the predictable plot. To some people who read fictions, maybe this isn't really for you but for reminders of Allah's help despite how ordinary/usual the trials are in life, I think the writer did a pretty decent job in it. However the technicality in dialogues kind of turned me off, since I'm very particular with writing styles. Other than that, it was okay okay. The ending had me reread a few pages! Anything, may Allah bless the writer. InsyaAllah

“Life is also about never losing hope”.
Towards the ending, in my opinion, if the Author wants to make a sequel, she could’ve stopped at page 294, before the epilogue. But she didn’t. Maybe this is a standalone, but I was hoping that it would be a series just like Letters To God because I am so invested in this world and the characters she created from when they were at their early twenties.
Will You Stay? follows Amy, bestfriend of Sarah, the main character from Letters To God series. Amy is now is a surgeon in training. When she first laid eyes on Rasyid, Hassan’s bestfriend, whose also hers and Nieza’s bestfriend, she couldn’t placed it from where she have seen him. It turns out she saw him once when she was at Reading, visiting Sarah. And he is indeed THE Brother Rasyid who had proposed to Sarah but gets turned down. Rasyid is nothing close to what Sarah used to described him as. He is much more mature and gentleman now. Not to mentioned handsomer and richer.
Through Hassan, Amy and Rasyid became closer and fell for each other. But as Amy is enjoying the happiest moment in her life, it took a 360 turn and her faith, love, and loyalty is put out to test.
This book brought many great themes and blends them together perfectly. Faith, love, loyalty, friendships, brotherhoods is all there. I’m surprised at how many cheesy punchlines the Author managed to put in this book. I really love the sense of humour and looking forward to her future works.
For those who loved reading romance, Norhafsah Hamid books are a change of fresh air because it is Shariah Compliance. I would love to see more younger generations devour her books and learned about permitted love and dating in Islam from these characters. The best form of Da’wah. All the best for the upcoming book, Kak Hafsah!

I bought this book because I heard it was written by a local author, and I wanted to show my support, yet I couldn't force myself to complete it and gave up halfway through. There were many reasons for me to dislike this book, but I sought to find a few aspects that I find them amiable.
As a bilingual, I believe that 10-years-old me would enjoy reading this book. For novice English readers, the language structures were indeed reasonably straightforward.
However, it seemed language wasn't the author's strongest forte. As I went through the book, the mixed-up tenses became increasingly apparent. It's difficult not to cringe and halt at the repeated errors. The way the conversation and dialogues interacted also struck me as odd and unnatural.
The plot is indisputably predictable and heavily influenced by Malay Muslim "marriage stuff," which was not my cup of tea. To be honest, this can be found in any Malay television drama series.
However, if you're looking for a quick read that you can finish in a day or two, this may quench your reading thirst.

An OK light reading. I read a lot of fiction books so I’m not really into this style of writing. The plot is very predictable, some of the things are too repetitive, and most of the time I’m reminded of the typical plot/ storyline of a Malay drama (hero is charming, successful, comes from a rich family. Perfect background. Independent and doesnt use family’s wealth. Mother is obsessed with getting her child married (also got kepochi phone scene in the book). Studying overseas. Heroin is classic beauty. Etc, you know the typical gist of the ‘Malaysian Dream’)
I’ve grown to call out some of the things that are unrealistic from this book, but if I was reading this when I was 14 or 15 years old, I would’ve loved it.
A good book but I get really tired of the typical norm as mentioned above.

Bought this book on a whim because it was on sale. And I regretted it. The writing is so bad (what’s up with all these mixed-up tenses????), the plot is predictable and some of the characters are just not necessary. I felt like this book is written to just to romanticise marriage from an Islamic POV, but it wasn’t in-depth in some of the issues that it tried to tackle.
I understand that its simplistic English may lower down the barrier to entry for first-time English readers, but there’s simply no excuse for the bad grammatical mistakes. If anything, it’s even more inexcusable because it wouldn't help new learners of the language understand how sentences work.

Don’t get me wrong when I give 3 stars. Tbh, this book is really good. Have a good messages, lesson that can be applied in our daily life. Since I’m a plot-driven reader, I found the storyline is too draggy at first 150 pages. It has a simple plotline with full of friendship stuff and that’s what make I love this story.
Maybe I’m just hoping for more and I feel the ending was not enough for me. After all, I’m glad it has happy ending T.T

Bagi aku, permulaan buku agak mendatar dan membosankan. Mungkin part pengenalan watak lagi. Tapi selepas panggilan ibu Amy tentang seorang mamat tu, terus aku rasa plot cerita makin menarik.
Ada part yang menghibakan juga. English yang mudah difahami, sesuai utk yang baru nak berjinak2 baca bacaan Bahasa Inggeris.
4/5 bintang.

Sometimes, it takes longer to reach one's goal and destination. Patience is of utmost important. Life is not a race to see who gets there first, but it is about endurance and living it according to the Will of God.
Life is also about never losing hope.
If you love Allah first and foremost, and take care of your relationship with Him. He will take care of the people whom you love. He will strengthen your relationship with them. And He will only choose the best love for you and make it precious. The kind of love that will stay with you even in the hereafter.
This is my second book by Norhafsah Hamid after reading the Letters To God. Honestly speaking, I really love reading her books because they always made me thinks of God(Allah) and helps me bring me closer to Him. There is something special for her book, which is, there is always a little of Hadith from our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) or verses of Quran at the end of each chapter of the story. Despite me enjoying the story, the reminder at the end of the book is like a special gift for a reader.
What I've learned from Will You Stay?
1) The differentiation between friends and acquaintances.
Acquaintance is someone who is only take advantage on you. Be there for as long as you can benefit them. Whereas friends are different, all together. Friends are the ones who can be dependent upon, in times of need. Who are honest and trustworthy, plus loyal. Indeed, friendship is one of the greatest gifts and blessings that God has bestowed upon human.
2) The real meaning of Life and be patience with tests.
Life is a journey that we must take. No one can take that journey for us. Sometimes, we can't choose our battles, but we just have to shoulder on. We must also not expect the path to be smooth or stress-free but to be prepared for the path to be riddled with obstacles and hardships. We must also have faith that whatever trial we have to face and endure, God will help us through. Bear in mind that everything on earth is temporary and God will not test us or burden us more than we can bear. Even so, no one said the tests would be easy or painless.
3) The principle of leaving things that doesn't concern us.
It is said that the less you know about other people, the better it is actually. This phrase does not mean you can be selfish. It is just as a reminder that there is limitation to know about other people personal life. As a human being, we tend to be jealous with what that we do not belong. Hence, to protect our heart from the disease of envy, it is much better we know less about other people.
4) Love your loved ones sincerely.
Life is too short to hold grudges or to stay angry at someone. We will not realize how precious our time is with loved ones because no one knows when death will come knocking on the door, hence it is best to make the best out of everything while they still can.
5) Be modest in life.
It is important to curb the desire to spend unnecessarily and to be moderate. This is because desire is not something that is easy to control nor to be quenched.
Life is also about never losing hope.
If you love Allah first and foremost, and take care of your relationship with Him. He will take care of the people whom you love. He will strengthen your relationship with them. And He will only choose the best love for you and make it precious. The kind of love that will stay with you even in the hereafter.

Ciri istimewa buku-buku Norhafsah Hamid ini menyelit ibrah daripada Al-Quran dan Hadith. Setiap novel ada rujukan endnote yang terperinci. Laras bahasa Inggeris senang difahami juga jalan cerita yang mencuit jiwa untuk terus tertanya-tanya dan menanti novel-novel seterusnya. Latar cerita sekitar United Kingdom dan Malaysia juga tarikan bagi saya. Terasa sampai ke UK dalam masa kita bergua dek Covid-19 sejak tahun lepas.
Novel ini mengisahkan Amy (sahabat baik Hassan), seorang doktor muda yang berusaha untuk menjalani hidup yang bermakna dengan memilih fokus kepada sahabat-sahabat terdekatnya sambil beriltizam membina iman. Kehadiran tanpa disangka kenalan sahabat baiknya mencetus perasaan halus dalam hatinya. Dalam kebahagiaan anugerah Allah, ada ujian melanda. Kita membaca cerita Amy dan Rashid juga cerita ibu bapa dan sahabat handai mereka. Kita membaca tentang akhlak, silaturrahim dan kasih-sayang Mardhatillah.

“If you love Allah first and foremost, and take care of your relationship with Him, He will take care of the people whom you love. He will strengthen your relationship with them.”
i came into this book assuming that it was a cute little halal romance, and came out with learning a lesson i honestly needed to hear.
firstly, the muslim representation in this book is a 10\10. we see the main characters make duaa, pray, the fmc is a hijabi, the relationship is halal and there’s no iffy things about it. that’s a pro.
but, one thing i didn’t enjoy as much was the instant type love. i kid you not, the mmc met the fmc and talked to her maybe for a few minutes and then 2 weeks later, he asks for her hand in marriage..like what even?? and the fmc doesn’t even budge, she literally just says “yes! of course!” girl what 😭
another dislike was the writing + grammatical errors, which irked me out, because it could’ve been SO EASY to fix.
in terms of things i liked, i loved how we got a specific ayah before every chapter which relates to the chapter, i just thought it was a beautiful addition. and the lessons? i’m gonna be a little personal, but i feel that this book was literally meant for me to read at this time. the main moral was trusting in Allah’s plan and realizing that what is meant for you will never pass you, and what isn’t will never come to you.
and as easy as it is to say that you trust in His (SWT’s) plan, it is not easy at all. patience in knowing that there’s some sort of light at the end of the tunnel is so hard to believe. for me, it’s honestly the hardest thing i’ve been having to do, so i appreciate this book for heavily touching on it.
"What has reached you was never meant to miss you, and what has missed you was never meant to reach you." (Prophet Muhammad SAW)
+ this book reminded me why i want to pursue oncology, so a plus for that!!
honestly a really important lesson that i think everyone struggles with at a point in their life and needs to hear 🥹
3.25 stars

What will you do if your spouse diagnosed with cancer?
Will you stay?
Or leave him/her because you don't want to sacrifice your entire life to take care of him/her?
It is the question questioned by Amy when her husband diagnosed with cancer a few months after their marriage. The happiness turned to sadness and the sadness become more bigger when her mother asked her to leave her husband.
What will she do?
It is worth to stay with someone who not live more longer than others?
Will she sacrifice all her dream to take care of her husband?
Amy, as known as Sarah's best friend found her love at 30. She choose to marry her own choice rather than her mother choices. She need someone equal to become her husband. Her mother always nagging to her because of her late marriage and they also have a bad relationship. Her mother never understand her and always make a bad accusing towards her.
Honestly, I think thoroughly after i read the novel. Marriage should be happen when someone already ready to take the responsibilities. Marriage is not a game. It is a long-term investment and scarifications. Will you spend your time with someone you never love? Will you sacrifice your dream to live with someone who never know how to appreciate you? Ask yourself it is worth to make others happy but you, yourself never feel the happiness?
Next, I realised the endless support from our circle is really important. Either it is from our own family, family in-law or our friends and colleagues. We need their support in every decision we made. Don’t forget to always pray and ask Allah to bless and guide us in every situations. He knows better than us.
Hence, I really love to read this novel and will recommend it to others. Come and get your now!!

As an avid English book reader, this book is pretty disappointing considering, I believe it is marketed towards new adults.
One major problem I found while reading this book is the style of writing. The sentences are too… simple. There are instances where long sentences could be rearranged to a complex sentence for better reading experience. Hence I think it would be great for English reader beginners. For avid reader or native speaker… read at your own risks.
But… there are a few awkward grammars which are probably missed by the editor(s) (I found that this is a problem with local books… like yall don’t proofread your book or what 😔 the quality, pls…).
Plot wise it was okay but the conversations/banters are pretty cringy to me. As someone in her mid 20’s it’s pretty unrealistic.
Anyway can we talk about Amy’s dad ‘letting her deal’ with her mom’s abuse because according to him ‘she is capable’ 💀 Sir… just because she can, doesn’t mean she should, and for YEARS at that. May Allah give insights and knowledge to the parents out there whose letting their kids struggle with the abuse of their own spouse.

This book is suitable for beginners or students to improve their vocabulary also wording used in this book was very understandable. This book was beautifully written with Islamic quotes, Islamic love / relationship between family, friends & God and always be grateful with what we have. I have no doubt about that.
The reason I give 3 stars are:
1. The plot was predictable. We can also see them in Malay Dramas. But it’s still acceptable.
2. Is Rashid had a tumour or cancer ? I need a detail explanation for his type of cancer.
3. Rashid hopping Hassan to marry Amy after he died, but Hassan did not??
4. I am not satisfied with epilogue version 1.
First version epilogue, I do like Rashid and Amy having their great time together after 13 years but for Nieza and Hassan? They should get married too.
I hope author would improve her writing in the future for the next book. Good luck.

3. Rasyid anak tunggal, tetapi ketika nazak menyatakan wasiat dibuat agar tidak berlaku perebutan harta dengan 'adik-beradiknya'?????

A simple love story of a Malaysian Amy who was 30 years old and working as doctor in UK. After for so long and nagging by her ridiculous mother, she had finally found her love Rasyid, a childhood friend to one of her best friends, Hassan.
As Malaysian Chinese and although I have Muslim friends, I wasn’t really clear with how their cultures are like. This book taught me to know more about Muslims throughout their marriage life in traditional way, such as they are not allowed to date before marriage, required to wear hijab all the time etc. To the knowledge, I felt my Muslim friends are much modernize. They just simply wear a sleeveless, hatless and went out dating. 😂
I was mentioning Amy’s ridiculous mother. What annoyed me in the story was the mother had been trying to control her daughter’s life even before and after marriage. She felt wealthy and fame could be much important than her daughter’s life and safety. I mean, she had a wonderful daughter, why was she acting this way? Fortunately, Amy showed a her strong personality as a daughter and also as a woman, which I am impressed with.
After the marriage, Amy and Rasyid had encountered many difficulties that stroke them so much as it was only lesser than a year of marriage. First, long distance marriage. Next, Rasyid had cancer. As a loyal wife, Amy chose to stay and face with him even though her mother convinced her to leave him.
Thank God they story ended with happy ending. Rasyid had fully recovered and got 3 children with Amy.
“Life is about never losing hope.”

This book taught me to know more about Muslims throughout their marriage life in traditional way, such as they are not allowed to date before marriage, required to wear hijab all the time etc. To the knowledge, I felt my Muslim friends are much modernize. They just simply wear a sleeveless, hatless and went out dating. 😂
I was mentioning Amy’s ridiculous mother. What annoyed me in the story was the mother had been trying to control her daughter’s life even before and after marriage. She felt wealthy and fame could be much important than her daughter’s life and safety. I mean, she had a wonderful daughter, why was she acting this way? Fortunately, Amy showed a her strong personality as a daughter and also as a woman, which I am impressed with.
After the marriage, Amy and Rasyid had encountered many difficulties that stroke them so much as it was only lesser than a year of marriage. First, long distance marriage. Next, Rasyid had cancer. As a loyal wife, Amy chose to stay and face with him even though her mother convinced her to leave him.
Thank God they story ended with happy ending. Rasyid had fully recovered and got 3 children with Amy.
“Life is about never losing hope.”

If you've read Letters to God Series, then you would know that Amy is a good friend of Sarah. They stick together until dream separated them both in pursuing it. Amy pursuing her dream to become a doctor while Sarah, a lawyer.
Fast forward, Amy is now a 30 year-old doctor who pretty much enjoy her career. She feels like it is something fulfilling that she can help others. But she got one problem; her mother who cant sit still until Amy agrees to get married to a never ending list of her potential son-in-law. In which, Amy never interested in it. She is in despair.
But then Allah gifter her a ray of hope which she never dreamt of it. Everything went well until something big happened. This time around, her mother went overboard. She decided to go against all the odds.
------
One the biggest lesson that I learned from this book; everything in this world is temporary. Only God's love is eternal. My teacher says: the owner of love is Allah, so you need to seek it from Him. That is why when we put love in the right place, it will be wonderful and magnificent. But when we put the love in the wrong place, everything will be so hard, we gonna feel so disastrous.
What does it mean by putting love in the right place? Does it means we cannot have love each other and just focus on pursuing the love of Allah? Nope. Putting the love in the right place means you never turn your back from Allah. Be in love with your spouse, loving your family, friends and others are not something forbidden. It is our nature. Allah has created us so. We need to understand that everything belongs to Allah includes us. This world is a place that we plant whatever that we want to harvest in our real home. The Hereafter.
This is something new coming from kak @norhafsah.hamid . I love how bubbly the characters are which caused me to laugh a lot. I love to see how Nieza & Hassan become a great support of each other regardless whatever happens. Please do expect some sad parts too. I cried a lot during half of the book. It is for a good reason that led me to understand the meaning of love. Love is never exclusive for love between the opposite gender only. It is beyond that. May Allah guide us.

Sarat dengan mesej yang mendalam berkaitan agama, keluarga, pasangan, sahabat, dan juga diri sendiri. Terdapat satu perbualan antara Amy dan Hassan yang sangat menarik perhatian saya,
Amy berkata, "Am I a horrible person, for sometimes doubting Allah's plan?"
Hassan membalas, "No, Amy. You're just being human. It's normal to have doubts in things that we don't understand. What is important is how we deal with the doubts..."
Sebagai insan yang lemah, mempunyai keraguan terhadap apa yang menimpa kita itu adalah normal. Bagaimana seharusnya kita menangani keraguan itu yang lebih utama. Kehidupan yang kita jalani hanyalah pinjaman, kita tidak berhak untuk menganggap apa yang kita ada itu kepunyaan kita. Bersangka baiklah dengan Tuhan.
Plot yang mudah difahami walaupun jalan ceritanya memang sangat boleh dijangka, tetapi saya lebih melihat kepada pengajaran yang penulis ingin sampaikan kepada pembaca. Oleh sebab itu saya beri 5 bintang untuk karya ini.
Penulisan yang sesuai bagi mereka yang baru berjinak untuk membaca karya fiksyen Bahasa Inggeris seperti saya.

This book had a lot of good messages.
The plot was very predictable and you can tell the writer's language needs a lot of polishing. It's a pity the editors didn't do a better job. I think the author needs to work on her tenses- it was very confusing to have the present and past all mixed up. At first I thought it was her writing style but it became obvious that tenses weren't her strong points. For people who are new to intermediate English language learners, it would not be obvious and they would be able to understand the story well but it spoilt the experience for me.
I still quite liked the book- I just hope editors will do a better job of editing in the future to help the author out!

Will You Stay? - Norhafsah Hamid
Kalau Time to Heal berkisah tentang peritnya seorang Hassan, Will You Stay pula membawa kita mengenal hidup seorang Amy. Sukarnya seorang Amy, bila jodoh diatur ibu sendiri. Namun, takdir Tuhan tak siapa duga. Rasyid dan Amy bertemu mata.
Namun, hubungan mana yang tidak diuji. Walaupun dugaan itu datang tanpa dipinta, namun kedua watak ini tetap tabah meneruskan hidup.
Keseluruhannya, novel WYS ini walaupun plot ceritanya klise, namun penulis berjaya mengarang cerita ini dengan baik sambil disulami dengan potongan quran dan hadis. Penggunaan bahasa Inggeris yang ringkas membuatkan novel ini antara novel berbahasa Inggeris yang wajib dimiliki oleh pembaca lokal.

Alhamdulillah finished reading this💕
Tak banyak novel melayu/inggeris karya penulis lokal kita yg best disebabkan kebanyakannya penuh dgn cerita cintan cintun yg menyimpang dari ajaran agama dan sangat cringe. Tak masuk lagi bab cliche dan toxic. But this one is an exceptional. Jalan cerita yang penuh pengajaran dan heartwarming gitu + watak yang straight to the point. Very realistic. Sesuai kalau perlukan bacaan ringan. Masa order buku ni tak perasan pulak novel haha kelakar betul tapi tak menyesal okie 😂 beli pun sebab suka dengan penulisan author dlm buku Calling Me Softly. Kurang 1 bintang sbb rasa macam ada yang kurang entah di mana, mungkin pada endingnya atau pertengahan cerita.

Wanted to rate 3.5. This book has predictable plot but still a beautiful story about trusting Allah in His plans. Some parts are draggy but some could make you smile. A light reading which could be finished in 2 days

One of the most recommended books by Malaysian readers and even my friend recommended this book to me :)
And I thank Nisa for recommending this book, it helps me to get out of my reading slump by how fast I read it after having a really bad reading slump.
One of the reasons my reading is fast is because the writing is simple and suits people who are not familiar with English writing. And I enjoy how easy I read this book to understand the plot and message from our writer.
But, all I can say this book puts more focus on the message instead of the plot, character development, and the story between the characters. Too much information in the 'tell' than the 'show' way of writing.
It is more like I read an Islamic non-fiction rather than a fiction story.
Honestly, I was expecting more in the sign of emotions from the characters but it does not give me the excitement of getting to feel like the characters.
Dialogue, oh let us talk about dialogue, I don't know why most of the Iman Publication writers did not take advantage of expressing the character in dialogue. And honestly, when Rashid breaks the news to Amy, I feel bland. It was too short and too fictional (I'm sorry)
And this story did not have too much dialogue, then I felt less interaction between the characters. It can take 4 pages for the writer to explain about characters' situation rather than take the chance to express it in dialogue between the characters.
Things that I love about this book are the advice written by our writer, it is beautiful and good for us to remind ourselves. I love it, and this shows our writer has a knack on writing non-fiction and maybe I would buy her non-fiction book one day.
A good book but I want to advise girls out there, to lessen our delusional and focus on ourselves okay 😉
3.7 🌟

I love this book so much. Simple, cute, and pretty much everything. Sometimes we just want to relax and sit back while enjoying a light book with a cute love story.

First of all, this book is my comfort read. I'll re-read it again if I’m 30 and still not married yet. There’s so much more we can learn from this book, which is also a good read for a Muslim too. A romance book but make it Shariah Compliance.
The way this book touches my heart make it so much special to me, I loved how Islam being represented in here. All the Qur'an verses and hadith is an eye-opening for me too, we as a normal human being tend to forgot that we lived based on Qur'an kalamullah. All the approaches in this book is so soft like "lembutnya teguran Allah". This is for people who are seeking for reminders of Allah's help despite how usual the trials are in life.
It tells about “Jodoh dan pertemuan di tangan Allah” kind of story. We learn what redha looks like from the main character; Amy. She is a good daughter and always preserved herself as a muslimah in a foreign country. When you are 30 but still not married yet ofc people will keep asking you to get married fast especially your mother. She have a really big conflict with her mother, for me it’s kind of toxic but being anak yg taat she always trying to hold herself from talking bad to her mother.
Not long after she met Rashid a brother-like to her bestfriend Hassan, they just meet few times and Rashid proposed Amy (the proposed scene is in page 137 which is my fav). This make us believes that things happened at the right time for the right reasons. Bcs right after they got married, Rashid were diagnosed with a brain cancer.
Have you read it? if you have, will you stay?
I enjoyed this book a lot even though I’m not a fan of the writing style and predictable plot but still it’s beautiful story about trusting Allah's plan in our life.

I can’t believe i finished this in one day. I just started yesterday kot? MasyaAllah. Very fast pace punya reading.
Writing style sangat mudah untuk difahami. Sesuai untuk beginner yang mahu berjinak untuk baca buku English with Islamic elements. You can try this one.
And prepare a box of tissue with you. I have low expectation on what’s happening inside this book. And when that happened, i realised, there’s tears in my eyes.
Buku ni mengajar kita untuk percaya dengan kuasa Allah. Jika kau percaya dengan Dia, maka Dia akan permudahkan segalanya. Susah untuk manusia terima pelbagai ujian dalam hidup. Aku sangat salute dan have huge respect dekat Amy untuk bertahan walaupun perit. Rasyid, you’re such a gentleman guy. How can you be so sweet and soft? Nak menangis aku.
Ujian yang mereka lalui tak mudah. Dan i’m sure if i were in their place, i will probably break down, have a lot of ‘whys’ to God, and menyalahkan everything. This book makes me realize that i have to trust in God. Jangan pernah ragu dengan Dia.
Anyway, i think i just got scammed with the ending 😀 i am okay though.
And i read the alternate ending too. Which is more realistic for me (im not mean but still you get what i mean right? 😭).

Overall a 2.5 ⭐ read.
First of all, I would start with things I love about this book.
1. The friendship between Hassan, Nieza and Amy. Their friendship is strong, loving and sincere. I was waiting for the moment for Hassan's character to be thrown into a love triangle and I am soo glad that it didnt happen. I guess I watch too many soap operas..(to quote Amy lol)
2. I love Amy's character. She stands behind her principles and fight for what she knows is best for her.
3. And of course, Rasyid! Rasyid is such a gentle and sweet character, especially to Amy. Now, where can I find my own Rasyid? 😏
Now, onto the things I am not really a fan of.
1. I'm not really a fan of the writing style but I guess it is just a personal preference. The plot was a bit weak and predictable too.

I enjoyed this book a lot even though the writing style wasn’t my vibe and the plot was a bit weak. overall, the characters were very lovable and I absolutely loved the messages behind each chapter. I was very skeptical about the love after marriage concept but this book really made me more open-minded about the topic.

I have decided that I cannot read from this author anymore. Our interest does not align with each other.
It always about the rich people who humbled and kind and no character growth at all. And always the UK
Numerous times mention in the books that Nieza is ‘special’, Rasyid and Hassan are ‘hafidh’ and Amy have ‘classic beauty’. Unnecessary repetition is not my cup of tea.

Not into the writing style, plot is very predictable, can’t stand the typical malay-drama-cringy conversations. The only thing i loved in this book is the Quran verses and Hadiths in every chapter. Maybe good for beginners kot
