Colette Victor

This was a great coming of age tale about a young girl who is trying her best to be a good Muslim whilst living in the UK. With the pressure of her family and what is expected from her, going against what Zeyneb actually wants, she is faced with some difficult choices.
I would recommend this book to teens 12-16. It is well written and Zeyneb is a great character.

I had high hopes for "Head Over Heart" but it didn't take long to be disappointed. Zeyneb's voice was not convincing and the author provided only a very superficial insight into the life of a teenage Muslim girl trying to fit into two very different worlds. Overall, ho hum!
