A heart-warming and hilarious modern Muslim retelling of Jane Austen's Persuasion.
Nada Syed is stuck. At twenty-nine, she's living with her parents and mourning the failure of her start-up baby, which failed because of a double-crossing business partner.
Nada's best friend Haleema is determined to pry her from her shell - and what better place than at the giant annual Muslim conference? And did Haleema mention that Baz will be there?
What Haleema doesn't know is that Nada and Baz have a secret history. And in their chance encounter at the conference, that history comes hurtling at Nada, bringing a moment of reckoning. Will Nada find a way to let go of the past but hold onto her dreams?

I have binge read Uzma’s other books, and I binge listened to this too. They are all equally un-put-down-able. I see this as a romcom for the Muslim community. So much of the mainstream arts is dominated by the same stories from white people. It’s so refreshing to read novels that have character names and see words that other non white communities hear all the time. While the tale is familiar the characters and their struggles are based on different principles. This was so well written and I can’t wait to see what Uzma comes up with next.

Un-put-down-able
