A review by nadia_star11
More Than Just a Pretty Face by Syed M. Masood
5.0
I don't normally write reviews about books, but to me, this one was just special.
Could it have been longer or more fleshed out? Absolutely.
Could the Muslim representation have been better? Of course.
But flaws aside, this book had a lot of heart, Danyal was an extremely likeable main character (possibly the most likeable male lead I've read about in a while), and the romance was so sweet and touching. Maybe it's because I can relate to Bisma as someone whose mistakes keep haunting them no matter how much they want to move forward. Maybe it's because, like her, I'm just so used to being mistreated. But the way Danyal treated her with so much kindness and respect, the way he kept wishing for her happiness, the way he fought for her, how pure his love for her was with the references to Islam...
Manifesting a Danyal into my life right now, to be honest.
