Mad, Bad & Dangerous to Know by Samira Ahmed
4.0
I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This book truly had everything: a compelling story, characters I genuinely cared about, and poignant messages.
The protagonist, Khayyam, is in Paris with her family after a particularly challenging few months, and she meets Alexandre, a descendant of Alexandre Dumas. What ensues is an engaging treasure hunt that causes Khayyam’s life to be entwined with a mysterious woman who lived well over a century earlier.
Through their quest, Khayyam has powerful revelations about herself and about the sisterhood of all women.
It’s a beautiful and important read.
