"It’s brilliant seeing the story you loved from another point of view. I cannot say how much I love this series of books!"
"The book is both funny and poignant and covers topics that will be all-too familiar to many women, regardless of culture or background."
"This story is a heartfelt and engaging read that explores family dynamics, identity, and the often-overlooked perspective of the “other” sister during a wedding."

About the author
Halima Khatun is a former journalist (having worked for ITV and the BBC), writer and PR consultant.

It was politely turned down by all the major publishing houses. However, proving that writing was indeed her forte, Halima went on to study English and Journalism and was one of just four people in the UK to be granted a BBC scholarship during her postgraduate studies.
She has since written for a number of publications including the HuffPost and Yahoo! Style, and has been featured in the Express, Metro and other national publications. Halima shares updates on her novels on halimakhatun.co.uk.
