This was the first Lisa Jewell book that I have read. I am so glad it was! This book was incredible. The twists, the suspense, everything about this book had me drawn in. I was extremely engaged right until the very last page. This book told the story through the perspectives of 3 separate characters whose stories all come together in the end. I am a big fan of split POV and intertwining stories. It had me guessing right from the beginning. I wanted to know why each POV was important and why things were happening how they were.
There was a twist near the end that I did not see coming. I was blown away by how well written this book was. I really loved this and it opened the doors to the world of Lisa Jewell's books.

This book was a really fun read that had interesting and more serious themes. Something I really liked about this book is how informational/educational it is. I really liked learning about a culture I am not super familiar with. I liked learning about historical events and also learning about the dynamics between Muslim families and friends. This was one of the reasons I gave this 4 stars. It had a lot of YA romance "fluff" and cute moments but a lot of the book was super educational for non-Muslims like myself.
I really liked most of the characters in the book. Danyal was a great character and I liked being able to see how dedicated he was to his thesis. He wanted to tell a side of the story that doesn't get told. Another thing I liked about Danyal was his kindness to Bisma and her sister. He was so nice to both of them. I also loved how passionate he was about cooking and wanting to own his own restaurant some day.
Bisma was another character that I loved. She was strong, smart, and cared about helping Danyal. She has gone through some unimaginable situations and I really felt for her throughout parts of this book. Her younger sister was also a lovely addition to the book.
One last thing I really liked was how the entire book was from Danyal's POV. I don't think I have ever read a YA Romance book from entirely a male POV and I really liked it.
