Featured Book
It All Comes Back to You by Farah Naz Rishi
Review by Jasmine Sov
 
Kiran Noorani thought she’d never have to see Deen Malik again after he ghosted her three years ago. Who would have known that Kiran’s sister Amira would fall in love with Deen’s brother Faisal? For the sake of playing nice for the happy couple, Kiran and Deen agree to keep their past relationship a secret. But Kiran has other plans. After her mom died, she swore to keep her family close—and when Amira tells her she might move across the country with Faisal, she vows to save Amira and end her rushed relationship. Meanwhile, Deen is delighted for his brother. This could be Faisal’s chance to start over, and Deen’s chance to finally put down his guilt for hurting Faisal in the past. But then Kiran finds out that there might have been another reason why Deen ghosted her back then: Faisal’s past. And Deen can’t let her find out the truth, especially if she tries to use it to ruin what Amira and Faisal have. Can Kiran and Deen mend bridges and give each other a chance?
