A review by caylieratzlaff
Misfit in Love by S.K. Ali
4.0
~ received as an ARC from NetGalley ~
4/5 stars.
I LOVED Saints & Misfits, so I was excited to see a sequel with Janna. While this is promised as a standalone, it definitely makes sense to read Saints & Misfits first. I should have reread it, because I had forgotten a LOT of the plot and characters from the first one, but there is enough detail to make sense of it all.
This book also beautifully tackles racism within the Muslim and Islamic community, along with Antiblackness as a whole. It also details Islamic culture brilliantly, and Janna is a strong hijabi.
I didn't necessarily like the romance element of it, but I was satisfied at the ending with Janna making the choices she did...I also need an update on the ending of the book because I am invested in the story brewing.
Overall, once again was beautifully written and tackles complex subjects.
