There were a great many things I liked about A Place For Us by Fatima Farheen Mirza but I pretty whole-heartedly took issue with how the novel with structured. Read the full review here.
Below is just a timeline I wrote out to keep track of the events; it skims over the later events, mostly because they are largely told in chronological order.
Hope this will be of use to someone to help them enjoy the book more, happy reading!

If was just reading about this book today! I read it’s the first in a printing company Jessica Parker is involved in. :)
Let me know what you think about it if you end up reading it! And yes, it’s the first book from SJP for Hogarth so it’ll be interesting to see what else she publishes!
Loved the full review. This book has been sitting on my to-read shelf for a while now. I added it owing to the hype. Now I am rethinking.
Hey, thank you so much! I mean I’d stress that despite whatever flaws, I did think the effort was worth it in the end. There are parts of it that are really lovely and moving — maybe would be worth flipping through the first pages via Amazon or at the bookstore to see what you think? I hate the idea of discouraging anyone from reading, haha! Happy reading either way, and thanks for dropping by!
My wife might be interested to read this.
