I think "My Trip to Adele" is a fitting title for this book. Many parts of it introduce Adele's songs, and the chapter titles are related to the story and her songs. I usually listen to her songs while reading those chapters because I feel the author wants to convey the emotions in the music through the story.

This book is easy to read and has an amazing, flawless, and perfect editing.

The love story of Elias and Malika is my favorite, even though it has a bittersweet ending. The transformation from an innocent child believing in superstition to a strong woman who has seen reality and matured. It's a bittersweet story in the end, but their conversations are touching and memorable.

In the stories of Nadia with her son and Yaser with his wife, they are all on a journey to find what they desire, whether it's freedom, love, escape from problems, or much more.

There's some sexual content that, although not explicit, I feel wasn't executed well. It would be better if the author described it better and marked the book as suitable only for young adults.

I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars because the plot is easy to follow and intriguing. There are many parts of the story where I learned about relationships, searching, and the reality of feelings over time. The combination of the story with Adele's songs makes the book interesting for me.

There are many parts I liked, such as Elias's conversation with Malika.

One of my favorite quotes:

“El-Fnaa Square is a myth; Moulay Brahim is a myth; even you and the Atlas Mountains are myths. What have I gained from these myths, Elias? That’s why I’m here, where all the myths fall naked in the heart of Italy. Where all its polytheism and myths of the gods are eradicated and replaced by the Vatican, where there is one God and church."

This part shows that the background of Morocco is not just depicted as a compliment but also strengthens the story when compared to the city of Italy, which seems to symbolize modernization.

Also, one of Yaser's lines is:

“A person who has never had doubts could never truly know faith, my love.”

About how belief, which once caused them to crack and almost separate, gave them a way to reunite. I like this quote because I believe every religious person needs to go through a period of doubt before finding their way back to faith, and this is a process that everyone must go through.

As feedback for this book, sometimes there are some foreign terms related to Moroccan culture that I don't understand. Maybe for some foreign terms, you need to add footnotes to explain their meanings and provide references. Also, I'm not sure if there are copyright issues related to including Adele's lyrics and titles in many chapters, but maybe in your next work, you should consider this because it feels like you're forcing the story to follow Adele's lyrics. However, I like the Adele song references you provided.

I used to think romance books weren't my cup of tea, but I think your story convinced me to choose this type of story again in the future. Thank you.

Romance stories are my favorite, and I also love stories that delve into the Middle Eastern world because of my personal connection to that background. The combination of these elements makes this book intriguing to me. Reading your review makes me want to pick up this book. Thank you for writing this review. Keep up the great work!

[Abriani H]

Please recommend me when you come across books related to religion, Middle Eastern stories, or other romance novels.

Thank you for your response, @abrianih. If I come across similar books, I'll let you know.

Sure. No problem. You can read books like Minor Detail for example that tells about Palestinian Oppression. It's a good book

I think it's an interesting theme, considering how the oppression of Palestine continues to happen until now. Thank you for your recommendation.

[Abriani H]

Of course. By enriching ourselves with anti-oppression literature, we can also educate others to support the fighters in their struggle for freedom from Israel. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free

Thank you for your response. You're right, it's the Adele that we know. I even got to know many Adele songs because of this book, as I was born in a generation that might not know much about Adele.

I couldn't agree more. Literacy serves as a means for us to shed negative influences ingrained in us from childhood. It allows us to discern between right and wrong and facilitates the transformation of outdated paradigms.
