Hana Khan Carries On cover

One of Washington Post's best romance novels of 2021
--_

From the author of Ayesha At Last comes a sparkling new rom-com for fans of You've Got Mail.


Hana Khan's family-run halal restaurant is on its last legs. So when a flashy competitor gets ready to open nearby, bringing their inevitable closure even closer, she turns to her anonymously-hosted podcast, and her lively and long-lasting relationship with one of her listeners, for advice.

But a hate-motivated attack on their neighbourhood complicates the situation further, as does Hana's growing attraction for Aydin, the young owner of the rival business. Who might not be a complete stranger after all...

A charmingly refreshing and modern love story, Uzma Jalaluddin's tale is humorously warm and filled with gorgeous characters you won't be able to forget. Now in development for film with Mindy Kaling and Amazon Studios.

This enemies-to-lovers romance is fun, family-driven and heartfelt, like You've Got Mail if it revolved around rival restaurants in Toronto. * Washington Post, best romance novels of 2021 *
