Why Did I Read? I have loved Jenn Bennett’s contemporaries! When I heard the synopsis for this one, I was so excited! Historical fiction, romance and European adventures – what else could I want??

My Thoughts: Love From A to Z is such a beautifully told heartfelt story! It’s about Zayneb and Adam, two Muslim teens who randomly meet at the airport.

It’s about navigating life through all its ups and downs and finding the people that are the marvels amongst the oddities. Zayneb and Adam are both at critical turning points in their lives […]
