Yahya and Noor are a newly-wed Muslim couple trying to navigate married life as people who had an arranged marriage. It means that whilst they know each other, it's the first time doing a lot of things together. 

Join them as they experience their firsts- there's a certain art to forehead kisses and Noor thinks Yahya has already mastered it- and lasts- Noor will never again buy lemon muffins for the two of them- with each other. Because there is nobody else they would rather do it with.

From the Author:

The Guide and The Light are a series of comedic, romantic and soft short stories detailing the representation Muslims want but are never allowed to have. We all deserve to see ourselves fall in love and keep that love. We all deserve to have our beliefs respected and celebrated, instead of treated like a joke or insulted.

It's about giving my community what they want and turning conversations that shouldn't have happened in public into something we can all smile at. I hope you enjoy.
