such an amazing book i loved it! This is so much more than a rom com. A book that manages to tackle the muslim experience in North America while being delightfully funny. Haven't we had enough of books that paint minorities as caricatures or stereotypes?
There is a bit of You've Got Mail here but the story is more than one of two people falling in love. It is about the discovery of strength in the face of adversity. It is about not choosing the path of least resistance. It's about the love for family and the love for community.
Finally, it's about a boy and girl who always felt connected.
This is my first book by this author.
I have seen this book touted as a Muslim rom-com. I personally would categorize it more as Women's Fiction vs romantic comedy or contemporary romance.
There was so much about this book that I loved.
The narrator is 24 year old Hana. She waitresses at her family's restaurant, The Three Sisters Biryani Poutine (a halal restaurant in the Golden Crescent neighborhood of Scarborough Ontario).
