Mad, Bad & Dangerous to Know by Samira Ahmed

4.0

I was initially intrigued by this book from it's title - and associated connection to Lord Byron. When I read the synopsis, my interest only grew. Mad, Bad, & Dangerous to Know has a unique premise and delivers excellently. The way the Leila portions of the narrative blend into the whole is really well done and gives enough of a story to feel complete without dragging you out of Khayyam's story. I also really enjoyed the incorporation of Delacroix, Dumas, and Byron into the story. The only thing I didn't love was that the dialogue could feel forced at times and awkward. Overall, this was a really enjoyable read.
