muslim romance books always got me excited to see how the author can make a halal romance got me giggling and kicking my feet. amidst the societal pressure to get married, sana finally decided to marry the charming adam that her family arranged for her. but that's until she reunited with her childhood best friend daniel. i have to admit, daniel was not really admirable at first... it took me some time to finally recognize his virtues as for much of the book i just wanna tell sana to marry adam. though i know they're not supposed to interact much until they're a halal couple, i YEARNED for more cute interactions between sana and daniel outside of work, they deserve more cute halal conversations!! the representation of pakistani weddings are an exciting touch though sometimes i get a bit confused due to the unfamiliar cultural elements for me. love all the pakistani wedding rep it's exciting to see though sometimes i get a bit confused cs it's something new to me. while the story unfolded at a slow pace for my taste, it was unquestionably an engaging and light read especially if you want to read more muslim rep romance.

thank you to the author and netgalley for the arc!
