Coconut
Ever Feel Like you're constantly disappointing people? Meet Rumi.
Rumi is a British Pakistani woman who's referred to as a 'Coconut' (brown on the outside, white on the inside). Born and brought up as a Muslim, Rumi spends more time enjoying fine wine and bacon than being at the mosque.
When she meets Simon, a white guy, she hopes that his decision to convert to Islam will be enough to keep everyone happy. However, as Simon begins to explore his faith, Rumi's world spins off its axis in ways she could never have predicted.

It was really good! Its not often i find books that feel so relatable, especially because "coconuts" are really under represented.
