Praise for Na'ima B. Robert's previous publications: "Interesting, and certainly timely." Kirkus Reviews , on Boy Vs Girl "Highly recommended."TheBookBag.co.uk, on Black Sheep "Robert's poetic style is captivating." School Library Journal , on Ramadan Moon When Ali first meets Amirah, he notices everything about herher hijab, her long eyelashes and her red trainersin the time it takes to have one look, before lowering his gaze. And, although Ali is still coming to terms with the loss of his mother and exploring his identity as a Muslim, and although Amirah has sworn never to get married, they can't stop thinking about each other. Can Ali and Amirah ever have a halal "happily ever after"? Na'ima B. Robert is descended from Scottish Highlanders on her father's side and the Zulu people on her mother's side. She was born in Leeds, England, grew up in Zimbabwe, and went to university in London, England. At high school, her loves included performing arts, public speaking, and writing stories that shocked her teachers! She has written several multicultural books for children which have won, and been shortlisted, for numerous awards. Na'ima divides her time between London and Cairo, Egypt, and dreams of living on a farm with her own horses. Until then, she is happy to be a mum to her four children and keep reading and writing books that take her to a different world each time.

Just read this amazing story 👍
Love this book! I don't know how I missed this book (of course, education was ruining my life the time this book came out) but yes, I am glad I read this book today! The characters are so realistic inspite of the typical ya storyline. But yes, this one will stay with me. The parents, the friends, the siblings. The Muslim community and their rich culture, the beliefs and the changing times. The discussion gets hot and quite liberating in the plot. I love this one more so because of the outspoken characters, specifically the main female character. She has a past she's not proud of but she's so responsible, she's independent and living her dreams inspite of the limitations she had to face because of the so called 'rules' a girl had to follow. I love Ali and Ami together. They are so damn cute. The story isn't fluffy and cheesy. The characters are more mature considering their ages but I can understand they have become wo they were because of the situations both of them had to face from a young age. Love the book. Quite a read I say. And I hate the unreasonable and unrealistic adult characters 🤦 *Some favorite lines: "Getting married was the biggest milestone, the one piece of news a girl's parents would make sure they shared with the whole community. Once you're married, you're safe: you're off the streets, you're not a fitnah, a trial, you've got someone to take care of you." (What everyone else thinks!) "If there’s one thing I’ve learned about life, it’s this: when you are not supposed to do something, you will find it near impossible to resist and when you have to do something, you’ll find any number of excuses to avoid doing it." "I guess those things – that world – is too removed from most people’s day to day reality. Life is tough for most people. Art is for the select few, those who have the time and energy to appreciate it. You can’t appreciate beauty if you are running on empty, struggling to survive. All the more reason to choose a different type of life."

Very meaningful
This is one of the best books I've read! I recommend this muslim romance novel to Muslims who want to know more about halal relationships and how to have halal romance. This would be good for people at the age of 12-18.

An Easy read for ANYONE !! This book is underrated.
Easy read for anyone. Suspenseful, climactic, informative and warming are a few words that come to mind. A love story shared from Ali and Amira’s points of view. As a 53 y/o male revert, I enjoyed every page and I couldn’t put the book down. The chapters were short but they kept you engaged and looking forward to the next. I won’t spoil the story….. Worth every tear, Opppsss …..worth every moment.
