A fresh, interesting, and entertaining novel.
I really liked Ayesha. Watching her wrestle with duty to her family and her wanting to pursue her art is a familiar tale; but Jalaluddin breathes new life into this trope with the details from the Muslim religion and various cultures. It was eye opening. The author does a great job tackling topics such as arranged marriages and Islamaphobia, and She made it very interesting. I loved having non-white characters as the main love interests. The other characters were Great and the plot was interesting.
Great debut!
