A Love That Disturbs by Medeia Sharif


I’m delighted to be participating in the Book Blitz for author Medeia Sharif’s A LOVE THAT DISTURBS.

*A LOVE THAT DISTURBS by Medeia Sharif
*Evernight Teen, June 17, 2016
*Purchase from Amazon(merchant sites will be updated on the author's site)

Maysa Mazari is alarmed by her mother’s talk about arranged marriage. As a hijab-wearing Pakistani-American, she wants to find love on her own. Her judgmental Muslim clique has protected her from racist taunts, although the leader is turning on her as Maysa strays from the group because of her attraction to Haydee.
          Haydee Gomez is a former gang member and juvenile detention student. Now living with a clean-cut aunt, she wants to turn her life around, even though one person will never let her forget her roots—Rafe, her abusive pimp. Haydee attempts to pull away from a life of prostitution when she develops feelings for Maysa, although Rafe isn’t willing to give her up too easily.
          Finding themselves in danger from Maysa’s friends and Haydee’s pimp, it’s apparent their love disturbs everyone around them as they fight to stay together.

    I have very recently finished a memoir about arranged marriages. And honour killings. Heart-hurting stuff. Congratulations to Medeia. A difficult topic - which shouldn't be hidden.

    Congrats to our dear friend Medeia!
    I'm strongly against wearing hijabs in any culture, disturbs me deeply
