Praise for Love, Hate and Other Filters
A deeply moving YA debut.
-Elite Daily
This smart, heartbreaking, honest debut novel is as timely as it is hopeful. Ahmed tackles weighty issues with thoughtfulness and flair. I was completely swept away.
-Sandhya Menon, New York Times bestselling author of When Dimple Met Rishi
Love, Hate & Other Filters heralds a dazzling new talent. Samira Ahmed creates a masterful alchemy of heart, humor, profundity, poetry, romance, and humanity. Through the eyes of the richly drawn Maya Aziz, we get a powerful, timely-yet-timeless, and poignant story about the delicate dance of coming of age in two cultures.
-Jeff Zentner, William C. Morris award winner of The Serpent King
A heartbreakingly beautiful debut that weaves together the rush of new love, the shock of old hatred, the pressure of protective parents and the culture clash between generations-in other words, a cinematic glimpse into one experience of growing up Muslim in modern America.
-Heidi Heilig, author of The Girl from Everywhere and The Ship Beyond Time
Love, Hate & Other Filters made me laugh and made me cry. Maya Aziz is a teen everyone needs to know. Her story-an exploration of the unique challenges Muslim Americans face as she pursues her dreams, falls in love, and finds her place within her family and her faith-is one that will stay with me forever. A much needed addition to the young adult canon.
-Aisha Saeed, author of Written in the Stars
Love, Hate & Other Filters hit so close to home, it sometimes hurt to read. I laughed at Maya's wry observations and wept at her profound ones; this book is a searing, honest portrait of what it really means to be a Muslim American teen loyal to two cultures and figuring out how to carve out a space of her own in between.
-Sarvenaz Tash, author of The Geek's Guide to Unrequited Love
Love, Hate & Other Filters shines with heart and hope in the face of prejudice. Samira Ahmed is a bright new star in the YA firmament.
-Marieke Nijkamp, New York Times bestselling author of This Is Where It Ends
This sweet, honest, charming debut skillfully balances joy and pain, loyalty and independence, humor and heartbreak, and establishes Ahmed as a definite author to watch.
-Barnes & Noble Teen Blog
In an astute debut, Ahmed intertwines a multicultural teen's story with a spare, dark depiction of a young terrorist's act. The characters are fully dimensional and credible, lending depth to even lighter moments and interactions. Alternately entertaining and thoughtful, the novel is eminently readable, intelligent, and timely.
-Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
Ahmed crafts a winning narrator-Maya is insightful, modern, and complex, her shoulders weighted by the expectations of her parents and the big dreams she holds for herself. Brief interstitials spread evenly throughout the text key readers into the attack looming ahead, slowly revealing the true figure behind its planning with exceptional compassion. Utterly readable, important, and timely.
-Booklist, Starred Review
Maya's voice is pitch-perfect; funny, warm, and perfectly teenaged. Sweet and smart with a realistic but hopeful ending, this novel is a great examination of how hatred and fear affects both communities, and individual lives.
-School Library Journal, Starred Review
Extremely timely. Reminiscent of Born Confused by Tanuja Desai Hidier, Love, Hate and Other Filters brings an authentic new voice to Muslim-American literature for young adults.
-BookPage, Top Teen Pick for January
The core relationships are authentic and memorable, and the conclusion is satisfying. A well-crafted
