One of Amazon's Best Romances of the Month!

For fans of You’ve Got Mail, a young woman juggles pursuing her dream job in radio while helping her family compete with the new halal restaurant across the street, in this sparkling new rom-com by the author of Ayesha at Last.

Sales are slow at Three Sisters Biryani Poutine, the only halal restaurant in the close-knit Golden Crescent neighborhood of Toronto. Hana waitresses there part time, but what she really wants is to tell stories on the radio. If she can just outshine her fellow intern at the city radio station, she may have a chance at landing a job. In the meantime, Hana pours her thoughts and dreams into a podcast, where she forms a lively relationship with one of her listeners. But soon she'll need all the support she can get: A new competing restaurant, a more upscale halal place, is about to open in the Golden Crescent, threatening her mother’s restaurant.

When her mysterious aunt and her teenage cousin arrive from India for a surprise visit, they draw Hana into a long-buried family secret. A hate-motivated attack on their neighborhood complicates the situation further, as does Hana's growing attraction for Aydin, the young owner of the rival restaurant - who might not be a complete stranger after all.

As life on the Golden Crescent unravels, Hana must learn to use her voice, draw on the strength of her community and decide what her future should be.

I am a mom and the book kept me afloat through the tiring daily toddler mommy chores, it was a refreshing clean distraction. Uzma beautifully combines all the hard topics- Islam, modernity, romance, family, elders, immigrants and puts a smile on your face while doing it. This book is music to our ears and to the ears of those who hate Islam and Muslims, just like in the plot. It's easily the story of many Muslim families in the West. Thank you for your service Uzma and God bless!

I love her books! Reminds me of my time in the middle east and how they vakue family.

The cousin was a breath of fresh air!

Our heroine is witty, clever, Indian, and Muslim, and this a lovely story about her aspirations, finding her passions, growing up, and of course, love! It’s a fun, lighthearted listen and the representation is a refreshing, tasteful appreciation of Indian-Canadian culture, food & family. Also, the narrator is fantastic and really captures the spirit of the story!

A charming story!

I like books that hook you from the start, and this one did just that. Once I started, I couldn’t put the book down (or stop listening to it in this case). It’s clean yet modern romance with a couple surprises and a happy ending. I found myself tearing, and laughing along with the characters in the novel. Definitely worth a read.

I loved this book. Uzma Jalaluddin has an easy way of explaining the outward idiosyncrasies of Muslims. And she lets the reader see that Muslims are just humans.

Creates a fluid understanding of the Muslim culture

I came in expecting a warm & fuzzy rom-com, a halal version of *spoilers alert* 'You've got mail' according to some of the headlines.
But I was pleasantly surprised by a much deeper and richer storyline, all while keeping it "light". My new favorite author shows off her talent, by creating witty, smart and poignant characters and dialogues, all while easily showcasing the culture & the internal & external challenges. I really connected with the characters & found myself crying and/or cheering with them. I might be biased though, since I come from a similar background.
Wishing you all the best & can't wait for the Amazon show to drop!
