Love from A to Z by S.K. Ali
It’s a love story but it is more than a romance. It’s a story about friendship and fighting for injustices and I loved it! .
.
I am not into reading YA romances as much as I was in my early twenties but with Zayneb being 18 and Adam being 19/20 I felt like it was less cliché and more realistic. Both characters are Muslim and I love how the author portrayed their faith and put it at the forefront of their relationship. .
.
I related so much to Zayneb! She is a fighter and is striving to stand up against cultural appropriation and the Islamophobia she encounters within her White American community and the entitled Doha community. She is always speaking out against injustices and those around her are sometimes trying to silence her. I feel that in my own life sometimes so I was happy to see that she stuck to herself and used her anger in a constructive way! .
.
I love that both characters were bi/multiracial, I feel like so many can see themselves represented in this book and it is definitely something I want to buy for my future biracial (white/Pakistani) children. .
.
Adam deals with the grief of his mother’s passing and his own life altering diagnosis, turning to his faith and friendship with Zayneb for comfort and guidance. .
.
This book was wholesome, adorable and made me feel so happy! If you are looking for something with love but not a romantic plot than I definitely recommend this one
