What They're Saying

Critics Review

What makes Zayneb and Adam different is not their faith but their ability to learn from and love one another in a world hurling obstacles their way…Heartfelt and powerful.

“Both [main] characters are exceptionally appealing as their well-integrated faith leads them in different ways to seek peace, justice, and each other.” * BCCB * “Told through alternating perspectives, this compelling love story brings together a wide variety of cultures, political issues, and personality types. Readers are immersed in the teens’ world, feeling the frustrations of facing prejudice, the sadness of losing loved ones, the hope that comes from mutual understanding. Ali has created an unforgettable couple in a deftly drawn setting.” * Horn Book Magazine * “In Love from A to Z, S.K. Ali once again takes an unflinching and moving look at the intricacies of life as a Muslim teen in an imperfect, multi-cultural world. Beautiful.” * Shelf Awareness, starred review * “Heartfelt, honest, and featuring characters readers will fall in love with, this is sure to become a beloved book for many.” * School Library Journal, starred review * “What makes Zayneb and Adam different is not their faith but their ability to learn from and love one another in a world hurling obstacles their way…Heartfelt and powerful.” * Kirkus Reviews, starred review * “This book gave me butterflies. Love From A to Z is the bighearted, wildly charming, painfully real love story I’ve been waiting for.” – Becky Albertalli, New York Times bestselling author of Simon Vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda
