so-so
Anam Iqbal‘s thoughtful debut YA romance uses the opposites attract trope to explore issues relevant to the British Muslim community. However, even for me there‘s a lot of plot here while the book‘s key mystery goes unresolved (albeit there‘s scope for a sequel) and the privilege porn wasn‘t questioned enough for me. That said, it‘s good to see a YA romance with Muslim characters and there‘s enough here for me to want to Iqbal‘s next book.
