Description

‘Funny, vulnerable, and heart-warming. A beautiful story for the people who are still figuring life out’ Hannah Grace, bestselling author of Icebreaker and Wildfire

Maya Mirza is so convinced she’s unlucky in love and life that she’s come up with a list of laws to explain it. Most importantly…

Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.

But that’s about to change. Maya’s headed to Pakistan for an arranged marriage with a handsome, successful doctor who ticks all the right boxes. First comes marriage, then comes love – she’s sure of it. Except…

Trips are never smooth sailing.

From the start, Maya's journey is riddled with disaster, and the cynical lawyer seated next to her on the plane isn’t helping. Until a storm leaves them stranded in Switzerland, and she and Sarfaraz become unlikely travel companions. And maybe something more…

When you think you’re lucky, think again.

Before long, Maya’s wondering whether she’s just experienced the ultimate in misfortune – finally meeting the right man a few days before she has to marry someone else.

Praise for Maya's Laws of Love:

‘A charming, funny, and unique twist on challenging the laws and traditions that shape us’ Abby Jimenez, New York Times bestselling author of Yours Truly

‘An engaging, relatable, and rewarding read’ Sarah Hogle, author of You Deserve Each Other

Fans of the romantic slow burn will fall for Maya’s Laws of Love...an emotional plot worthy of a K-drama Lily Chu, author of The Stand-In

‘Laugh-out-loud hilarious and gorgeously heartfelt, Khawaja’s cinematic writing will sweep you away and have you falling head over heels’ Ann Liang, author of If You Could See the Sun

Maya's Laws of Love is a whirlwind debut you won’t want to miss. A true joy, this is the type of comfort book you read again and again’ Aamna Qureshi, award-winning author of The Lady or the Lion

‘I absolutely loved it! Alina Khawaja is such a talented writer, and the story had me hooked from page one. It's funny, clever and full of relatable characters I’m still thinking about. I'm officially a fan and can't wait for the next one from Alina.’ Lucy Vine, author of Seven Exes

‘A beautiful romance about finding your true self’ Woman’s Own

a Bridgerton K-drama remix that will delight romance fans…’ Glamour
