Uzma Jalaluddin has quickly become a must-read author for me. She can write anything and I'll read it. I love that her characters tend to be in their mid-late twenties and still figuring things out. Too often authors just don't write that age and either make their protagonists very young, or make them have everything figured out by 30. Her characters are so sweet and unique and I love watching their growth in a book. This one definitely had some wild, over the top moments (Tarek's whole plotline, etc), but I still had a lot of fun with the book. I can't wait to see what's next from Jalaluddin.
