Love and Other Alluring Things

19-year-old college student Nafeesa Dil considers herself religious. But the cracks in her faith lead to a rendezvous that shouldn't have happened. Awake in the middle of the night, Nafeesa questions everything she's believed herself to be, who she must become, and the allure who caused it all.

More than two years after that night, Nafeesa once again questions herself when an ordinary event leads to something more. With the unraveling of her emotions, Nafeesa must come to terms with how far she's gotten and whether or not the one she's fallen in love with will undo it all.

Thrown into the mind of a young Muslim woman at two stages of her life, LOVE AND OTHER ALLURING THINGS tells a messy, speculative coming-of-age story exploring how deeply one's feelings and faith can intertwine--and how thin the veil between imagination and reality is.
