- W4281258259 abstract "Reviewed by: The Loophole by Naz Kutub April Spisak Kutub, Naz The Loophole. Bloomsbury, 2022 [336 Trade ed. ISBN 9781547609178 $17.99 E-book ed. ISBN 9781547609352 $12.59 Reviewed from digital galleys R Gr. 9-12 Sy deeply regrets choosing the comfort of the familiar over the adventure of running away with his boyfriend, Farouk, three months ago. Now, however, two things have upended Sy's life anyway: his extremely conservative Indian-Muslim father kicks him out after finding out Sy is gay, and he also meets Reggie, who offers him three wishes (and proves she can deliver on at least the first one as a million bucks suddenly appears in Sy's bank account). Sy and Reggie team up to help him accomplish his second wish, finding Farouk, though it is not nearly as easy as a magical poof out of L.A. Reggie foots the bill for all the travel, encourages Sy and helps bolster his confidence, and cheerleads his ultimate goal of rekindling a romance with the love of his life. Of course, such a journey would dramatically change anyone, and Sy's evolution is so well-earned and sweet that it borders on treacly, but Reggie's sardonic commentary manages to keep it on the proper edge. Farouk isn't the same when they find him, but nor is Sy, whose priorities have shifted now that the world is proven to contain far more than just Farouk's love. Romance buffs will appreciate this not-quite-wish-fulfilling story that explores love from a variety of perspectives with a keen eye for tenderness.
