The Thirty Before Thirty listy Thank you so much Bonnier Books UK NetGalley and Tasneem for such a moving novel Kindle Edition This book had so much potential and perhaps and most probably is because I m not a religious person nor I live in a different culture than mine but it felt so infuriating at times to read how self centered and narrow minded was being Maya The books was like a big ME MYSELF AND I There were cero development not only in the protagonist but in all the secondary characters I felt invested in the story of Malik and Lucy than the drama from Maya s problem I was so close to dnf this book but pushed through it and it was disappointing wdym Malik didn t try harder with Lucy Kindle Edition Kindle Edition I feel this is one of these books where if you didn t enjoy it within the first couple of chapters would be worth reading a little to truly assess whether to leave it or continue I m glad I stuck it out On the whole I did feel like I was reading something that would appeal to teenage me but once I embraced the book for what it was and things started to get interesting it was really quite a fun and lighthearted read with some poignant moments scattered here and there Kindle Edition
