Critics Review
THE GIRLFRIEND ACT is a delightfully swoony tale with endearing characters finding the courage to be true to themselves and their dreams. Ahmed deserves all the applause for this charming debut! – Tracy Badua * Author of This is Not a Personal Statement *

An effortlessly charming and deeply moving tale about daring to dream and finding love in unlikely ways. The Girlfriend Act has so much heart and humour, and I can’t wait to see what Safa Ahmed writes next. – Ann Liang * author of If You Could See the Sun *
