Thank you for signing up! Keep an eye on your inbox. Ali, who is continuously fighting for our justice with her pen and tweets. We all want peace like Adam, but as Zayneb rightly points out, “there couldn’t be peace without…justice.” I’m glad in the real world, we have authors like S.K. Reading how Zayneb seeks justice against her racist teacher makes me feel validated, as though I had actually stood up for myself back then. I always regret not speaking up and defending my religion, even though the words were on the tip of my tongue. I still remember my Creative Literature professor criticizing Islam in front of the whole lecture hall, and ignoring me when I went up to ask a question. Reading this book personally allowed me to heal my buried experience of Islamophobia during my freshman year in college. Whereas in her debut novel Saints and Misfits, Ali focused on internal issues like spiritual abuse, in Love from A to Z she confronts the global epidemic of Muslims getting harassed simply for practicing their religion. Although tall, patient Adam and fiery Zayneb feel chemistry immediately, it’s unsure whether their relationship will beat the odds: Adam’s health issues, the long distance, and even religious guidelines on male-female interactions. Love from A to Z immediately drew me in with its lovable, complex characters.
