So as a Brit a lot of the American politics went over my head so near the beginning my rating hovered around a 3 but I absolutely loved the character development, the inter-faith relationship and the slow burn romance. It’s probably my own fault but I haven’t read many books with Muslim characters and I really appreciated that the book took place over Ramadan, though slight niggle I do wish Maya’s faith was discussed a little more. It felt a little over-shadowed by Jamie’s Jewishness, what with his sister’s bat mitzvah, his family and even the candidate they’re working for being Jewish. I did like Jamie’s growth in particular and his improvement and willingness to learn. Also, I want either a direct sequel with Jamie and Maya or a sequel featuring Jamie’s sister, Sophie. I loved her and I want more of her story!
