Humaira Akther’s Reviews > Modern Urdu Short Stories from Pakistan > Status Update

At first I was a bit bored but this is such a good story to end off with, I love the sense of person Mohammed shah had and oh my god, just amazing. I really loved reading this.

I was wondering about how women are viewed in the story and the ending pleased me because of the feminist type message. Really liked this one.

Loved the world building and I have to say the prevalence of honour throughout was so intriguing. A story to ponder on.

Very sad and very well written, this story was intriguing and great to read.

Most boring story I have ever read in my LIFE.

The characters are established well but where even are we half the time? Confusing but I liked the plot of it, and the openness of Masumi- even though she lowkey just started trauma dumping. It’s kinda sad to hear abt the bleeding gums or being affected by poison. Really sad, but idk how this came from Pakistan. Interesting though.

I love this story sooo much and hello the postscript? This story feels special, and I feel like it’s so interesting because it has such a powerful female figure in it. I liked the story-telling and description of everything. So good I couldn’t tear myself away.

These two are thirsty
