A sparkling second-chance romance inspired by Jane Austen’s Persuasion...

Nada Syed is stuck. On the cusp of thirty, she’s still living at home with her brothers and parents in the Golden Crescent neighbourhood of Toronto, resolutely ignoring her mother’s unsubtle pleas to get married already. While Nada has a good job as an engineer, it’s a far cry from realizing her start-up dreams for her tech baby, Ask Apa, the app that launched with a whimper instead of a bang because of a double-crossing business partner. Nothing in her life has turned out the way it was supposed to, and Nada feels like a failure. Something needs to change, but the past is holding on too tightly to let her move forward.

Nada’s best friend Haleema is determined to pry her from her shell…and what better place than at the giant annual Muslim conference held downtown, where Nada can finally meet Haleema’s fiancé, Zayn. And did Haleema mention Zayn’s brother Baz will be there?

What Haleema doesn’t know is that Nada and Baz have a past—some of it good, some of it bad and all of it secret. At the conference, that past all comes hurtling at Nada, bringing new complications and a moment of reckoning. Can Nada truly say goodbye to once was or should she hold tight to her dreams and find their new beginnings? Women's Fiction Fiction Dream Multicultural World Literature Historical Fiction

I am a mom of two young ones and currently into Muslim writers. Audible works great for me as I can listen on the go. I am so grateful to Uzma for her work. I loved Ayesha at Last and the romance between Aysha and Khalid and Hana and mr.silver shades kept me hooked too. But in this book I felt like I didn't get to know Baaz much. I would have loved find out more about his childhood. Why was he trying to get away from his parents? What was it about Nada that made him fall for her, especially after she bullied him. I also loved the other two novels because they didn't have the typical graphic romantic scenes that are offensive and vulgar. I didn't appreciate the detailed kissing scenes because it's a Muslim novel and we have our haya, modesty, our values.

So relatable and heartwarming. Another masterpiece by Uzma Jalaluddun. This is the third book I've read about the Golden Crescent neighborhood and I'm obsessed!

I had such a good time with Much Ado About Nada. This book was in my most anticipated books of 2023 and it lived up to my hopes. Once again Uzma Jalaluddin has delivered a cast of characters that all feel grounded, real, and, where applicable, absolutely charming. I truly enjoyed spending time with them. This plot was especially compelling with many moving parts that all tied up nicely in the end (and left me craving chai.) All together Much Ado About Chai was fabulous from first page to last. Highly recommended!!

Everything it’s supposed to be!
