I Can't Think Straight by Shamim Sarif

Set against the backdrop of vibrant London and the sun-drenched Middle East, this compelling narrative follows the journey of two women from vastly different backgrounds as they navigate the complexities of love, identity, and cultural expectations. Tala, a spirited and affluent Jordanian woman, is on the brink of an arranged marriage when she meets Leyla, a shy and introspective British Indian writer.

Through a series of poignant and humorous encounters, they embark on a transformative path of self-discovery, challenging conventions and embracing their authentic selves.
