Much Ado About Nada is the contemporary take on Persuasion that I've been waiting for. Jalaluddin expertly balances explorations of family, faith, and love in a smart and authentic way. I am such a fan' EMILY HENRY

Once they were sweethearts
Now they're strangers
Worse than strangers - practically enemies

But will a chance encounter offer
Nada and Baz a second chance at love?

Nada Syed is stuck. At twenty-nine, she's living with her parents and mourning the failure of her start-up baby, which failed because of a double-crossing business partner.
Nada's best friend Haleema is determined to pry her from her shell - and what better place than at the giant annual Muslim conference? And did Haleema mention that Baz will be there?
What Haleema doesn't know is that Nada and Baz have a secret history. And in their chance encounter at the conference, that history comes hurtling at Nada, bringing a moment of reckoning. Will Nada find a way to let go of the past but hold onto her dreams?
