A glimpse into Muslim life in Trinidad that kept me riveted
From the very first chapter, Call It Anything But Love delivered that rare, luminous feeling: total immersion. Amanda Corieshy masterfully depicts the intertwining lives of Nadira and Judith, capturing their struggles with family, faith, and betrayal in stunning detail. Every moment felt real—there were times I forgot I was reading, so vivid were the sights and sounds of Trinidad. As someone who knew little about Muslim culture in the Caribbean, I found this portrayal both enlightening and respectful. The writing style is so engaging that I was compelled to read on, hungry for more layers of each character’s journey—especially Majeed’s! It’s an absolute 5-star triumph that will linger in your thoughts long after you turn the final page.
