It All Comes Back to You by Farah Naz Rishi

4.5! Man, this book was an emotional rollercoaster. It was a really good and fun read which i finished in less than four hours. The characters were very well written, i could relate to them in the fact that they made mistakes but all in good intentions. These weren’t characters that made good choices all the time, but rather, they made very human and realistic ones. And the last chapter…yeah i cried.

Really good, but the way Kiran acted was pissing me off. But also what Faisal was hiding was unforgivable. Like I wouldn’t get back with him if I were Amira. I didn’t like how the ending felt like it was cut short, it would have been cool to see what happened. But it was also really interesting how Deen and Kiran don’t get together in the end. Honestly, I think too much stuff went down for them to just get back together like that. Some authors would have just forced them back togehter, so I like how this one didn’t.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" - a direct quote from the book itself.

I don't know what to say... I did not LOVE the book but i didn't hate it either. The drama was good at the start but then it became redundant in the middle, and i feel like the plot was a bit dragging. And the ENDING!!!! ahem. Let's not speak of that cause i could rant for DAYS ON END!

It All Comes Back To You is a slice-of-life, coming-of-age, YA contemporary book. It focuses on growing up, facing changes in your life, and family love. Fortunately, it wasn't a romance, especially since the story was more family driven and a love story would have shifted the focus from the main characters' character development to a more red-tinted glasses mood.


The book's story is a classic case of miscommunication and bad decisions. If the characters talked to each other, a lot of drama would have been spared. But, I guess, it was vital for the growth of the characters.

I especially enjoyed Kiran's story and pov. She had a fantastic character and her choices, at least, were understandable. Meanwhile, Deen was more of a 'dude' who was trying to push everything under the rug and frantically cover up any mess.

Moreover, the story was badly paced. The development of the story wasn't smooth, and the insert of the past conversations, as well as those that happened in the gaming space, threw the pace off altogether.

Misscomnication trope is on another level here, I just can't not. Romance...where only one liked was Faisal and Amira. I'm being generous with rating.
