My honest review
At first I was interested in reading this novel because it was very viral on social media such as Tiktok and Instagram. My best friend also influenced me to read this novel. I saw and heard many good and rave reviews from many people about this book. Some cried very badly after reading this novel. Without waiting long, I continued to buy this novel online.
This novel follows a story of Amy and her friends Nieza and Hassan. They are very close. One day Hassan introduce his friend name Rasyid to Amy and Nieza. Out of the blue, Amy and Rasyid confess and express their love for each other and get married. They both go through various obstacles in their household.
I really like the storyline and the vocabulary that it is easy to understand for me who is weak in English. The arrangement of the story is also very neat and not too over. Other than that, I really like about this novel is that every character in this novel has a good character and understands more in Islam and also carries the character as a Muslim and servant of Allah as best as possible.
In addition, on some pages in this novel, the author has inserted some hadiths or verses from the Qur'an. This made my humble self get a meaningful inspiration to be a good servant of Allah than before. Amy's character gave me a lot of impression in me. Furthermore, I read this novel during Ramadan. This novel has a place in my heart because it gives many lessons as a servant of Allah and learning to accept the destiny that Allah has written in our lives. Yes, at the end of the story I cried so hard that my eyes were swollen. 😭
I give this novel a 5/5 because it managed to make me cry like I lost my kitten. If you want to know more why I cried about this book, you should read it yourself. That's all from my review of the novel "Will You Stay? by Norhafsah Hamid". Thank you for reading from my blog. I really appreciated it. 💗
