A romantic and relevant debut about Islamophobia and how it affects the normal life of a teenage girl.
"I don't want something . . . expected. I want to go to film school and be the first Indian American to win an Oscar, and then I can meet the One and fall in big, heart-bursting love, and we'll travel the world, my camera ready to capture our adventures."
Maya Aziz dreams of being a film maker in New York. Her family have other ideas. They want her to be a dutiful daughter who wears gold jewellery and high heels and trains to be a doctor. But jewellery and heels are so uncomfortable . . .
She's also caught between the guy she SHOULD like and the guy she DOES like. But she doesn't want to let Kareem down and things with Phil would never work out anyway. Would they?
Then a suicide bomber who shares her last name strikes in a city hundreds of miles away and everything changes . . .
Perfect for fans of Annabel Pitcher, WHEN DIMPLE MET RISHI and THE HATE U GIVE.

Solid and enjoyable debut novel

An enjoyable read and definitely an important book for its Muslim and Indian representation but the book also focused too much on romance, a romance I did not feel at all. The author tackled the issue of islamophobia and its effects really well and I wish she'd delved into that topic a bit more.
I also struggled with Maya as the protagonist. While I love how passionate she is about film and how she wants to pursue that dream with no stopping her, but I felt that she relies too much on boys to define her happiness. Moreover, I couldn't get behind Maya and Phil as a couple. I felt no chemistry at all between them and I never warmed up to Phil, I don't even know why.
The secondary characters were awesome, though, Violet, Hina and Kareem captured my heart so fast, I love them! And all the food mentioned throughout this book made me so hungry and my mouth water!
This is a solid debut novel and I definitely want to check out more of her work in the future.
