Her parents' divorce has Maaryah bidding bye-bye to Dubai and her life of luxury . . . and hello to dreary London, where things get . . . complicated. There are house parties, annoying-yet-hot boys and the isolating reality of being the only hijabi in a massive school.

Can Maaryah stay true to herself, even when another bombshell rocks her world . . . ?

Reviews for Odd Girl Out

Immediately immersive, you'll be rooting for Maaryah from start to finish of this unputownable, pitch-perfect, utterly captivating YA novel. I stayed up way past my bedtime to finish #OGO, and I know I won't be the only one doing so! -- S.K. Ali * author of Love from A to Z * Maaryah perfectly captures what it's like to be battling Islamaphobia at high school while trying to remain your unapologetic and authentic self. -- Yousra Samir * author of Hijab and Red Lipstick * This is the very best kind of storytelling - funny, sharp, fierce and totally compelling. Maaryah's story will resonate with anyone who has ever had to deal with the difficulties of fitting in -- Julia Bell * author of Massive and Dirty Work *
