Description
The Shape of Compatibility: a halal romance in Dubai by Nora Dabas
Synopsis
Mira moves to Dubai from Texas to grow her abaya brand.
Zayd is the CEO of a resort empire, fit, focused and every inch the image of refined Arabian prestige.
They notice each other at a bookstore-café, and from there, she’s thrust into his world of grandeur.
She’s rooted in faith and modesty, while he has a more liberal outlook, never out of place among his affluent, like-minded circle.
They aren’t each other’s type, shaped by different lands, raised by different truths, and living by values that rarely align.
Yet somehow, small parallels emerge, enough to spark an undeniable affinity.
But is it strong enough to bridge their worlds, or is the gap too wide to close?
Advance Praise
"HOW CAN IT END WITH ME WANTING AND NEEDING MORE FROM MIRA AND ZAYD?! I NEED THE SEQUEL ALREADY!!"
— Dodo
"I got to read the draft (since I’m Nora’s friend), and I absolutely loved the story. The world-building was rich, the characters were so unique, and I especially loved that I kept guessing wrong about what would happen next!"
— Lana
"I had the honor of reading this story before its release, and by the time I hit I believe it was chapter six or seven, I was hooked! I binged the rest in one go! Mind you, there are 50 chapters."
— Sally
