Best friends Zara and Adnan must navigate the twists and turns of fake dating, family dynamics and cultural stereotypes in this swoon-worthy YA Desi rom-com.
Zara loves love in all forms: rom-coms and romance novels and grand sweeping gestures. And she's desperate to have her own great love story. Crucially, a real one. So when her best friend Adnan begs her to pretend to date him to cover up his new top-secret relationship, Zara is hesitant. This isn't the kind of great romance she had in mind. But there's something in it for Zara too: making her parents, who love Adnan, happy just might stop them arguing for a while. She may not be getting her own love story, but she could save theirs.
After all, how different can pretending to be in a relationship with your best friend be? Turns out, very. And when a new, exciting boy turns up in Zara's life, things get more confusing than ever.
Topics Dating. Interpersonal relations. Best friends. Friendship. Family life. Bangladeshi Americans.
