The Other Half of Happiness

Malik is great at making you laugh one minute and then breaking your heart the next, and this is a relatable story for anyone who has ever struggled to find their way in the world and who knows that there's life on the other side of happily ever after. * Stylist magazine *
This book did not disappoint...sensational...I love Sofia! * Ellen Pellen, Youtube *
One thing that is certainly not lost throughout the book is the humour, which Malik serves up by the platter. Between a hilarious clash of languages over dinner with the in-laws and razor sharp comebacks from Sofia's mother, finding the funny in the everyday regardless of that day being good or bad is the novel's biggest strength. * The State Of The Arts *
A sequel to the wonderful Sofia KhanIs Not Obliged. Now married, there doesn't seem to be a happy ever after for our heroine when new husband Conall grows increasingly distant. So when her mother bullies them into having a proper marriage ceremony, Sofia hopes they'll have another chance at happiness. A warm, tender, funny look at a mixed race marriage that comes with a side-order of heartbreak. NB: Will need tissues. * Red magazine *
She's maintained the same lightness of touch that made the first book such fun and again, one can't help but root for Sofia, as she's both real and relatable. That her search for fulfillment is swinging more towards her career than her love life really opens up the story, both challenging what we define as "chick lit" along with the stereotypes many of us might hold about Muslim women. * The National *
