You know, sometimes there are some books that you read and there are some that are so brilliantly written that you can’t help but be consumed by them.
Hana Khan Carries On is a book that will consume your thoughts with the way it has boldly yet thought provokingly handled the sensitive topics of racial discrimination, racism and islamophobia as well as immigrant experience.
Hana Khan is a 24 year old woman currently interning at a radio station with an Indian immigrant as her competition. She also records podcasts about her experience as a brown girl; an experience that she loves sharing with the world, even if it’s anonymously. Other times, she also works at her family’s halal restaurant.

It’s at her restaurant she meets another young man who immediately ends up intriguing her; Aydin. Though it soon becomes clear that he is the enemy here, with hun opening up his own halal restaurant opposite her own family’s.
With a wonderful and eclectic secondary characters that give the readers as much joy as the protagonists’ push and pull relationship did - Hana Khan provides its readers with a brilliant, beguiling and sensitive look at some fundamental issues as a backdrop to a romance between two quite adorable protagonists.
Definitely recommend, for this book now features in my Favourites of 2021.
P. S. Just wish we could have had a few chapters from the PoV of Aydin - that would have been absolute perfection.
