Love from A to Z by S.K. Ali

Love from A to Z by S.K. Ali

Love from A to Z is an acclaimed, deeply moving Young Adult contemporary romance novel by award-winning author S. K. Ali. Published in 2019, the book is highly celebrated for its nuanced, authentic depiction of Muslim youth, navigating identity, and dealing with life's unexpected hardships.

Structured around an internal journal format, it is a beautifully written, slow-burn romance that balances lighthearted travel charm with heavy, real-world issues like Islamophobia and chronic illness.

The story alternates between dual first-person perspectives, following two Muslim teenagers who cross paths during a spring break trip to Doha, Qatar:

• Zayneb is an eighteen-year-old Pakistani-Guyanese American high school senior from Indiana. She is fiercely passionate, activist-minded, and unapologetically loud about injustice. After getting suspended for confronting a deeply Islamophobic teacher who has been targeting her, her parents send her to her aunt's house in Doha a week early to cool down and avoid further trouble.

• Adam is a nineteen-year-old Chinese-Finnish Canadian college student. He is a talented artist, a gentle soul, and an expert at keeping the peace. Adam was recently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS)—the exact same chronic illness that took his mother's life years prior. Terrified of devastating his grieving father and young sister, Adam drops out of his university in England and heads home to Doha, keeping his diagnosis an absolute secret.

When Zayneb and Adam meet on the flight to Qatar, the connection is instant. They quickly realize they both keep a personal journal based on the ancient concept of The Marvels and Oddities of the World—cataloging the beautiful things (marvels) and the painful or strange things (oddities) they encounter daily. As they explore the glittering, sand-swept city of Doha together, they begin sharing their deepest marvels and oddities, slowly falling in love while trying to figure out how to face their respective, terrifying futures.
