Please, God, let my Katb-el-Ktab be as special and soft and thrilling as Zayneb and Adam’s.
I have literally dreamed about having conversations with my S.O. at our Nikkah with just our eyes, and this was exactly what happened between Zayneb and Adam! While I really loved the plot of this novella, the writing, on the other hand, did not please me. It felt rushed and vague and almost fanfiction-y (which, I assume, is because this is a free ebook).
3 stars!

I know the author said this would be more mature than YA but I did not expect this. I should have. There were no explicit scenes like the author said, but it was very mature. Not in an "I'm old and pay taxes" kind of way.
That being said, it was so cute and I loved it so much. It's a vibe. [a:S.K. Ali|15615126|S.K. Ali|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1561960438p2/15615126.jpg] is one of my favorite authors. I'm so Excited for [b:Love from Mecca to Medina|58363598|Love from Mecca to Medina|S.K. Ali|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1644268059l/58363598._SY75_.jpg|91525397]. I just need a collection of SK Ali's books. She writes muslim rep so well, and her characters are written so amazingly, I can both relate and look up to them.

Late to the party but I honestly loved this, much like I loved Love From A to Z. I rarely read romance books (especially YA ones) but Adam and Zayneb's post-Nikah shenanigans had me giggling like a schoolgirl. Also, I'm a sucker for positive Muslim representation in media so this was a great, quick read to cheer me up! :)
