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.
What did I think?
Oh my goodness, Maya's Laws of Love is one of the most romantic books I have ever read. This is proper swoony romance that makes your heart race and your breath catch and I loved every minute of it.
Maya believes that she is cursed so she sets up her own list of laws that start with Murphy's Law (Anything that can go wrong will go wrong) so she's always prepared for disappointment and bad luck. Maya's laws are brought to life in an often comical fashion when she travels from Canada to Pakistan to get married and almost every obstacle is put in her way to try to prevent her from getting to her wedding on time. One such obstacle is the man that Maya sits next to on the plane, a man with beautiful dark eyes that you can lose yourself in, a man who is not her fiancé.
I really enjoyed reading about a different culture and I found the customs and events of the wedding celebration fascinating. I love how it's all woven into the story and it creates so many memorable moments in Maya's story. Maya has such a strong voice and it shines through in Alina Khawaja's colourful writing. I can totally see this wonderful book being made into a Netflix show (please pick this one up, Netflix!).
Sweet, charming and surprisingly funny, Maya's Laws of Love is a must read for romance readers or anyone looking for something different and entertaining to read. I absolutely adored it and I wanted to read it again the moment I finished it as I didn't want this gorgeous story to end. Very highly recommended.
I received an ARC to read and review for the blog tour and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
