One of Amazon's Best Romances of the Month!
For fans of "You've Got Mail," a young woman juggles pursuing her dream job in radio while helping her family compete with the new halal restaurant across the street, in this sparkling new rom-com by the author of Ayesha at Last.
Sales are slow at Three Sisters Biryani Poutine, the only halal restaurant in the close-knit Golden Crescent neighborhood of Toronto. Hana waitresses there part time, but what she really wants is to tell stories on the radio. If she can just outshine her fellow intern at the city radio station, she may have a chance at landing a job. In the meantime, Hana pours her thoughts and dreams into a podcast, where she forms a lively relationship with one of her listeners. But soon she'll need all the support she can get: a new competing restaurant, a more upscale halal place, is about to open in the Golden Crescent, threatening her mother's restaurant.
When her mysterious aunt and her teenage cousin arrive from India for a surprise visit, they draw Hana into a long-buried family secret. A hate-motivated attack on their neighborhood complicates the situation further, as does Hana's growing attraction for Aydin, the young owner of the rival restaurant--who might not be a complete stranger after all.
As life on the Golden Crescent unravels, Hana must learn to use her voice, draw on the strength of her community and decide what her future should be.

Eine berührende Geschichte

Hana ist ein Mädchen, das versucht, das Leben der muslimischen und Einwanderer-Community verständlicher zu machen. Sie möchte zeigen, dass sie sich selbst als Kanadierin sieht und ihren eigenen Platz zwischen verschiedenen Kulturen findet. Doch dann kommt die Liebesgeschichte mit Aydin, die ihr Leben völlig auf den Kopf stellt.
Das Buch zeigt, dass man für Liebe und seine Träume kämpfen muss. Gleichzeitig macht die Autorin deutlich, dass man im Leben nicht immer alles erreichen kann, was man sich wünscht. Trotzdem ist es wichtig, weiterzumachen und für seine Ziele zu arbeiten.
A lovely Story

What I really liked about the setting was the diverse cast in the book and with Hana's best friends Lily und Yusuf, there was also a couple with mixed roots included.
I loved the idea of reading a contemporary adaption of "You've got mail". Besides some comments of Hana's cousin Rashid, there were not so many funny scenes as aspected. It is a book dealing with serious topics, like finding your own path in life, deal with obstacles and with racism. Hana Khan, a young woman, has not yet found her place in life. She only knows that she is a born storyteller and wants to broadcast. But presenting a show that she is not 1000 percent convinced of? This decision is pretty tough for her. In terms of finding yourself, it was a wonderful story and I hoped for Hana to go chase for her dreams.
Something I could not really relate to was the love story. Don't get me wrong, not every romcom has to be steamy hot and sexy, but I hoped for a kiss! In this case, I was disappointed.
