Not the Girls You’re Looking For, by Aminah Mae SafiRead about the other entries on the list.
Even though To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before is a heartwarming romance, there are truly poignant and sad moments, making it the perfect blend. Debut author Aminah Mae Safi also strikes that sweet spot. The star of the novel is Lulu Saad, who’s set on world domination with her three best friends. But everything she touches seems to go awry, including causing a scene during Ramadan. Lulu’s story is about a girl who’s a mess trying to make things a little less messy. To do this she needs to let people into her life and open herself up to love, friendships, and self-love.
