Through her writing, she wishes to inspire a love for the beautiful country and rich culture that informed much of her identity.

When she's not writing, she loves to travel to new places where she can explore different cultures or to Pakistan where she can revitaliz

New Book Deal!

Screen Shot 2021-06-15 at 4.50.11 PM.png

It’s been a long journey getting here! I first wrote this book in the spring of 2016, when I was a senior in high school. I was going through a lot of the aches and pains my main character, Zahra, was going through and dealing with a lot of the same confusions and discomforts that accompany growing up. Everything seemed like a question mark. Everything hurt. 

I didn’t know how to navigate this w

Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“My life had been so full, so why had I felt so empty in it?”
Aamna Qureshi, When a Brown Girl Flees
tags: life

“Loneliness was like an old pair of socks I should have gotten rid of ages ago- though worn and slightly scratchy, they were somehow comfortable despite the discomfort”
Aamna Qureshi, When a Brown Girl Flees

“Having a sister is so strange because you spend your whole life as extensions of one another – consuming the same shows, books, and songs; sharing clothes; having the exact same sense of humor; cooking and eating food together – and then one of you moves out and everything becomes an obscure reference to what was.”
Aamna Qureshi, If I Loved You Less: A modern twist on a Jane Austen classic, perfect for 2024!
