This book surprised me with the complex issues it tackled. I loved it. I really enjoyed being immersed in learning about a culture different from my own and seeing a strong female protagonist. Very well done and I would definitely seek out more by this author.

It's a joy to read a romance which takes marriage seriously and not just as a taken-as-given conventional happy-ever-after ending.

An interesting Muslim Canadian Pride and Prejudice adaptation—many characters are swapped / conflated, but no big complaints. I liked Khalid and Ayesha, but.. sometimes the P&P elements make things too predictable to me... I dunno. Loved Shakespeare-loving Nana, too. It was enjoyable but I don't think I'll reread it. ...more

A unique retelling of Pride and Prejudice. I loved the setting, a Muslim community in Canada, and the family complexities that moved the story forward. This is the second Jaluddin novel I’ve read and O really like her writing.
