The protagonists of this story are Ayesha and Khalid, and the story is told from their perspectives. Ayesha is a modern Muslim girl, who believes that women have rights in this society, and her wishes are very different from what is expected of her. Khalid is a very conservative Muslim young man, who is proud of who he is. Both of these characters are absolute opposites, but even without realizing it, they share so much in common. I had a lot of joy while reading the story about their personal lives, and watching how they grew throughout this book. This novel has a huge variety of supporting characters, who play very important parts and are absolutely hilarious, just like in real life. 😀

I really enjoyed the narrative of this book, it was funny and adventurous, but at the same time, it had a great message to share. It felt like a romantic comedy but played by Indians. 😀 The topics discusses in this book were arranged marriage, workplace religious discrimination, how it feels to be different than the rest of the community, etc.

The book is set in Canada, and I liked to see how South Asians live there. I liked the writing style of this book, it was creative and pleasant to read. The chapters had a decent length, and the pages just flew by. The ending of the book rounded up the story really nicely and left me satisfied with the outcome.

So, to conclude, if you wish to have a glimpse into South Asian culture and community’s life, this novel is great for that. It has a wide variety of amusing and very realistic characters, as well as a funny and entertaining plot. So, I strongly recommend this book to those, who are looking to educate themselves about different people and have a good time while doing so.
