If you're looking for a book with good Muslim rep, this is definitely not it. Good Pakistani rep, yes, felt like I was reading about my own relatives and community lol. I don't think the characters being 'sort of Muslim, but not really' added anything to the plot, so I'm not really sure why it was even included. Maybe because the majority of Pakistanis are Muslim, not all, but the majority are.

I've never read a book where the FMC has epilepsy, so it was really interesting to read about that. Zoha was the cutest little bean! The auntie was a b**** - stereotypical brown auntie behaviour lol!😂😂 Also, get you a man like Azeer!

The reason for them getting married was tenuous, but it all worked out in the end. Disclaimer: I don't advocate for this approach to marriage in real life, only for plot purposes.
