Editorial Review: Ayisha Malik has spoiled me for eternity with this book ...Never in my life has a character touched me as much as Sofia Khan. Books & Other Distractions Made me laugh out loud ... Sofia Khan Is Not Obliged is a contemporary, witty and refreshing women's fiction novel which I thoroughly enjoyed! A Spoonful of Happy Endings A brilliant first novel ... in some ways I enjoyed this book even more than Bridget Jones. The Book World of Anne Sofia Khan is NOT Obliged is the new (I dare to say it, better) Bridget Jones. It's intelligent, very funny, sharp, heart-breaking, witty, superbly plotted, realistic, and a feminist love story without gush. It will remind white readers who don't have Muslim friends of Bend it Like Beckham, and it is simply a joy to read. It's also damn well written. katemacdonald The book is actually HILARIOUS and I mean hilarious; I had to stop reading it in public because i was laughing at every page and everybody eyeing you awkwardly gets...well...awkward ... a funny, honest portrayal of one woman's journey through some of the hardest and happiest times, featuring a great band of diverse characters full of like and lessons. It was so refreshing to have a humorous take on the customs of this culture without an apologetic voice attached. The Chronicles of Radiya It's funny, it's heart-breaking, it's heart-warming and it has a protagonist who's determined to live life and write her book her way. The Writes of Woman Sofia Khan is Not Obliged was a welcome change. It offered a cheeky, intelligent, fallible heroine who, although I may not share her faith or culture, I could identify with more easily than most of the other protagonists in the genre. Once I started reading, I could not put the book down - it's the only thing I've read this year that kept me up past midnight. The Captive Reader Fun, fresh and funny Mhairi McFarlane This is better than Bridget Jones! It deals with such complex issues but at the same time is so funny! (...) This is bloody hilarious and it is one of the most special and brilliant books I read this year -- Just Kiss My Frog youtube This is a must read and I do not say that lightly and therefore, you are most definitely, obliged. XXY Magazine This fictional diary of the dating travails of one righteous romantic is snort-diet-Coke-out-of-your-nostrils funny and will resonate with any woman who's looking for love Red Magazine A light-hearted book crammed with witty humour... It's an entertaining debut with laugh-out-loud moments - a contemporary love story you won't want to miss! Candis Magazine Laugh-out-loud-funny from the off, this witty, unapologetic, honest, fun and feisty tale fully deserves the buzz it's getting. We can't wait for the inevitable film to follow Heat Magazine Fans of Bridget Jones certainly won't be disappointed, since Malik achieves the perfect balance of romance and humour The Independent Move over Bridget Jones - there's a new heroine charting her romantic disasters- this time minus the Chardonnay... refreshing and funny Sunday Mirror 'highly talented Ayisha Malik, author of the funny and sparky Sofia Khan Is Not Obliged, a smart and acerbic romcom about a young woman writing a book on Muslim dating...read Ayisha Malik's book: it's huge fun.' The Guardian Feisty, funny and relatable it's the feminist romantic comedy you've been waiting for Elle Magazine Best of the New Books... For fans of Bridget Jones's Diary Grazia Must-read... Liven up your daily commute or boost your bedtime routine with [this] page-turner Marie Claire A courageous, revealing, fiendishly funny and important book. Genuinely ground-breaking Vaseem Khan, bestselling author of The Unexpected Inheritance of Mr Chopra Most refreshing of all, Sofia doesn't need to undergo some sort of wild identity crisis before she gets her happy ending... [a] sharp, funny but ultimately very normal portrayal of life as a British Muslim The National Part of "a new wave of female-focussed fiction... Bridget Jones-esque" Stylist Fun, feisty and addictive. It deserves to be read Irish Examiner Malik hopes that books like hers will continue to increase relatable portrayals of Muslims in popular culture... in creating a host of characters that are normal in their abnormality, relatable yet individual, Malik is undoubtedly making a difference New Statesman Malik's novel aims to answer the lack of Muslim heroines in popular fiction and to give a more authentic characterisation of modern Muslims Kahleej Times
