Dear God by Norhafsah Hamid
5.0
"At the end of the day, you need to ask yourself, why are you doing this? do you really want to know God or are you doing it to impress someone else? To fully embrace Islam and feel its blessings requires sincerity".
Forth book in the Letters To God series.
It follows the story of Jonah, who thought he had everything in the world; handsome face, wealth, health, brain, friends and lovely family. But one thing he do not have is, Sarah. He could charmed every single girl he wanted with his blue eyes, sweet words and good look, but not her.
When Jonah first stumbled upon Sarah that he realised life is more than what he knows about and live in. Despite having all of the thing he have, he still feels empty deep inside and his search of a meaningful life and eternal contentment begun.
I fell for Jonah's parents in this one. They are so funny! I legit laugh over their talks about religion. And the plot twist, of the character Carmen, I did not see that coming!
One third of the book is a recollection from the previous ones. It is as a way for those who follows this series to recalls and those who started with only this book to take a glimpse of whats happening. If you are new, though its already satisfying reading only this book, you have to read the prequel, followed by the sequels.
The ending of this book is in the previous sequel, but rest assured, it doesn't spoil anything, because this book is about Jonah's journey both towards searching of faith and Sarah.
Overall, I love all four books equally and I am excited to read the fifth and last one. All the best Norhafsah and Iman team! I hope theres more people would be touched by this series.
