She is sent to Doha to stay with her Aunt, and meets Adam at the airport on his way home to Doha. Zayneb faces Islamaphobia from her high school teacher, and is suspended from school before spring break for “seeming” to threaten him. Coincidence: both main characters, Adam and Zayneb have the same journal (islamic history/art reference)! The concept of life having both positives and negatives is present throughout, with Adam and Zayneb both maturing in their life experiences and learning how to deal with their life struggles. It is set up as a journal instead of chapters, with titles of Marvels or Oddities. ❤️Finally a breath of fresh air! Finally a beautiful and sweet love story with Muslim characters that feel real and who value their religion. In fact, it is mentioned that Islamic rules are in place for marriage and they respect them! (So good to see in a book)-no rebellion and succumbing to desires here.
There is mixing between the genders and mention of dating, but no actual “dating” occurs (though they daydream about it).
There is a kissing scene after Adam and Zayneb do katb kitab.
