‘Amal Awad brings her characteristic intelligence and warmth to this tale of a lonely young woman trying to avoid love while searching for her place in the world. Lara is the best kind of heroine – gritty, funny, and full of heart.’—Ruby Hamad
Abdel-Aziz Family Series #2. “A wry, endearing Bridget Jones set in Sydney’s Muslim community… Awad warmly displays the formal propriety of Arab Muslim courtship while still highlighting the humor of it all, along with an amused appreciation of its parallels to the Regency world of Jane Austen.”—BookPage
