Meet Abi.  She is a Muslim woman.  A woman that is married to her job.  A woman whose mother is haggling her everyday about getting married.  In fact, she wants her to get married and give her grandchildren so bad, she goes behind her back and puts her picture in a dating site!  As if that isn't bad enough, her boss is haggling her over "stealing" a business account, when in fact she was just doing her job well.

Abi is a very devoted Muslim woman.  You can tell by the way she likes to pray.  But the way she handles herself when she is feeling an attraction, it is downright comical.  I wish someone would tell her there is a difference between biology making you find someone attractive, and a purposeful ogling staring kind of lust.  One is a choice, the other is simply how we are built.  It's your choices on how you choose to handle yourself that define who you are.

But even as I appear to be criticizing her, I actually empathize with her very well.  Adolescence was truly a hard time for me, and at times I wish I could have just hid behind a blanket as all these bodily changes were taking place.  I'm glad it is over, for sure!

Anyway, Abi's life gets even more complicated when she finds out that her boss had an intimate relationship with the account that she now has to supervise.  At the moment it's too early to say what happens next, but it's an enjoyable story for sure and I can't wait to see the next chaper.
