American-born 17-year-old Maya Aziz is torn between worlds. There's the proper one her parents expect for their good Indian daughter: attending a college close to their suburban Chicago home and being paired off with an older Muslim boy who's "suitable" to her mother. And then there is the world of her dreams: going to film school and living in New York City - and maybe, just maybe, pursuing a boy she's known from afar her entire life who's suddenly falling into her orbit at school.
But unbeknownst to Maya, there is a danger looming beyond her control. When a terrorist attack occurs in another Midwestern city, the prime suspect happens to share her last name. In an instant, Maya's community, consumed by fear and hatred, becomes unrecognizable, and her life changes forever.

I appreciate that the narrator isn't white and could more embody the character. Soneela did a great job and I loved listening to her read. The pacing was great and I enjoyed the story.

And don’t get me started on the stereotypes. Her parents are written as strict and controlling, like the author wanted to reinforce every tired trope about Muslim families. It’s like the book was trying to say, “Look how free she is when she abandons her culture and faith!” instead of actually exploring what it means to be Muslim in America.
Islam isn’t just a label—it’s a way of life. The Qur’an clearly says:
“And do not follow your desires, lest they lead you astray from the way of Allah.” (Surah Sad 38:26)
But this book acts like following desires is the only way to be “happy” and that being Muslim is something to escape from. And the worst part? It pushes the idea that practicing Muslims are oppressive while secularism equals freedom. That’s not representation—that’s just erasure.
The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:
“Whoever imitates a people is one of them.” (Sunan Abu Dawood 4031)
Yet Maya is written in a way that completely disregards Islam, making her blend in so much that her Muslim identity is basically nonexistent. If you’re gonna write about a Muslim character, at least make her faith part of who she is instead of treating it like an inconvenience.
If you’re looking for real Muslim rep, this ain’t it. Try Saints and Misfits by S.K. Ali instead. (Doesn’t portray haram relationship and doesn’t glorify it.)
