Trigger Warnings: Racism, Mentions of Sexual Assault, Loss

Okay, Misfits in Love could technically be considered the sequel to Saints and Misfits and occurs around two years after. But this book can also be read as stand-alone.

Before, I dive into the book; you have to know that I am not really the one for love triangles - in fact, it really does end up affecting my whole experience for the book itself.

Now, the blurb of the book, may mention Love triangles, but I certainly enjoyed the first book and I was curious to know what happens next for our protagonist, Janna.

S. K. Ali builds up to a few very important topics revolving around the family drama of a Big Fat Muslim Wedding - and I actually enjoyed how the author handled the mix of drama, comic and seriousness of issues involved!


Janna, while yes conversing with boys who could have been a love interest, but certainly never portrayed as such, is now finally at a place to move forward with her personal life. I enjoyed Janna, she might have been a little dramatic, but she had the temerity to handle the drama with aplomb!

I loved the representation of Muslims, their culture, their traditions and the family dynamics the way it should be, in the main stream media - and considering the fact that this is #ownvoices book - it is one I would recommend purely for the well done representation.

Misfits in Love is more than just the romantic journey of our protagonist, it is a well worn family drama that will always always be a part of the Asian Culture, that any one part of this culture would truly empathise with
