About this audiobook
How do you balance desire, ambition and expectations?
Feeling alienated from wider society, Sara, Abida and Naeem gravitate towards their university's Muslim Students' Association. Within its austere confines, Sara watches Naeem. Over time, the pair commence a furtive relationship outside of the gaze of their families and peers. But Naeem is especially burdened by the widening gap between his public façade and their clandestine forays.
As the MSA elections approach, Abida seeks to win the presidency at all costs, threatening her longstanding friendship with Sara and risking her reputation. What will the repercussions be for all three if Sara and Naeem transgressions are exposed?

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I thought the story was banal and lacked a deeper exploration of why the students felt the need to be more Muslim than their parents. I felt sorry for the young Australian characters, burdened by their religion without finding comfort in it. A deeper examination of the parents' characters would have been beneficial.
