Charismatic, romantic and ultimately redeeming "Hana Khan Carries On' is Uzma Jalaluddin's second foray into the world of romantic comedy. Based in the ethnic neighborhood of Golden Crescent, Toronto, the book follows Hana Khan, a 24 year old Pakistani woman aspiring to be a radio broadcaster. Join Hana as she struggles to keep up with her many responsibilities including trying to save her mother's failing restaurant, The Three Sisters, from the menacing Shahs, competing with Thomas for a coveted full term job offer, reuniting her friends Lily and Yusuf together and keeping up with her crazy cousin Rashid who may or may not be associated with the New Dehli Mafia.

What I enjoyed about this book was Hana's voice. Uzma Jalaluddin does a terrific job of centering the modern, young Muslim experience and making it feel realistic. The honest moments of comedy are some of the best I've read so far. No doubt, reading "Hana Khan Carries On" will set your heart afire as you watch young Hana stumble through the pitfalls of love and romance and find her true, authentic voice. It is a heartwarming read!
