A review by abercrombie1986
Much Ado About Nada by Uzma Jalaluddin
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.5
I'm a sucker for a book with characters from a different culture and even more so for a second chance romance. And a retelling of a Jane Austen novel. Hello, I was all in.
I liked the characters and thought the author did a good job with the retelling. It may have been the setting of the Muslim community or it could just be me and my moods, but I did think the story was a little detailed for the setup and rushed towards the end. I would have been a bigger fan if that was smoothed out a little.
But ultimately this had great characters in a community I know nothing about.
