"A young woman juggles pursuing her dream job in radio while helping her family compete with the new halal restaurant across the street, in this sparkling new rom-com by the author of Ayesha at Last. Sales are slow at Three Sisters Biryani Poutine, the only halal restaurant in the close-knit Golden Crescent neighborhood of Toronto. Hana waitresses there part time, but what she really wants is to tell stories on the radio. If she can just outshine her fellow intern at the city radio station, she may have a chance at landing a job. In the meantime, Hana pours her thoughts and dreams into a podcast, where she forms a lively relationship with one of her listeners. But soon she'll need all the support she can get: a new competing restaurant, a more upscale halal place, is about to open in the Golden Crescent, threatening her mother's restaurant. When her mysterious aunt and her teenage cousin arrive from India for a surprise visit, they draw Hana into a long-buried family secret. A hate-motivated attack on their neighborhood complicates the situation further, as does Hana's growing attraction for Aydin, the young owner of the rival restaurant-who might not be a complete stranger after all. As life on the Golden Crescent unravels, Hana must learn to use her voice, draw on the strength of her community and decide what her future should be"--… (plus d'informations)

All Hana wants is to pursue her dream of a career in radio and make her podcast on the side. But her pregnant sister has been put on bedrest, her family's restaurant is in financial trouble, and some distant family has recently arrived for a visit from India, making her life far more complicated. Even worse, a new arrival on the Golden Crescent where her family's restaurant presents a new threat to the business. Hana only wants to protect her family and she can't afford to find the owner of the new business, Aydin Shah, as intriguing and infuriating as she does.

The blurbs on the book compare the novel to You've Got Mail and it definitely has elements of that plot, but I wouldn't label this as a romcom. Jalaluddin tackles some pretty heavy themes in the book including microagressions as well as racist harassment and attacks. There's also a pretty heavy focus on Hana pursuing her career in radio and a lot of family drama. It's largely well-written, although there are some rocky bits of exposition early in the novel and some of the dialogue feels a bit stilted. That said, the book does a great job of capturing the diversity of one of Toronto's suburbs and I was invested enough in the characters to be pleased with the ending that Jalaluddin crafted for them.

I love that this book deals with so many different issues while telling a compelling story. I thought Hana's story ARC was well written, she finds her voice and she isn't afraid to use it. The supporting family and friends were all great and I love how they all find their own paths as well. Highly recommend this novel and I look forward to reading more of Uzma Jalaluddin's books in the future. ( )

Hana is many things, an intern at a radio station, waitress in her family’s restaurant “ Three Sisters Byrani Poutine”, podcaster and story writer. She has a large Indian family and is joined by an aunt and cousin from India. This novel does emphasize how close Indian families are. It was interesting to learn about a Indian neighborhood in Toronto. Novel touched on racism and hatred of Muslims with an incident on the way to a baseball game, and a protest at a street festival. Novel was okay but I didn’t love it ( )

Muslim Canadian aspiring radio broadcaster is visited by her South Asian (Indian) relatives and tries to save her family's restaurant while dealing with Islamophobic hate and a mysterious (and infuriating) enemy/ally in modern Toronto.

Another great drama from Uzma Jalaluddin - more, please! I love how all the characters have different experiences and how they each have their own dramas happening. ( )

This retelling of You’ve Got Mail is set in Toronto. Hana Khan is an anonymous podcaster, an intern at a local indie radio station, and a waitress at her family’s halal restaurant. But the restaurant is struggling and Hana doesn’t believe it will survive when a new halal restaurant opens up in their street.

I really enjoyed this! Some of the developments were predictable, following as they do the structure of You’ve Got Mail, but there are surprises too. Like the pressure Hana faces at the radio station to only represent and only present certain narratives about South Asian Muslim migrants. Or the other instances of racism she encounters in her community.

Or the abrupt arrival of two relatives visiting from India, and how they both, in different ways, influence Hana’s perspective and her circumstances.

And I like stories which are, for want of a better label, about “courtship through messages”.

StanleyP: Our lives are running parallel. I have business-and-family-shaped complications too. That new project I was telling you about is finally happening. No relationship-shaped complication for me either.
[...] AnaBGR: Why can’t I be the complicated one? You always have to copy me.
StanleyP: It’s what a bot does. The Stanbot is also programmed to give excellent advice and tell hilarious jokes, and is available for revelations of real names or the exchange of pictures/phone numbers. Just say the word. I’d love to get to know you better.

My stomach jolted with awareness at his words. I wanted more too. But it wasn’t as easy for me. All the bravery I possessed was currently being put towards other things.
