To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before meets Pride and Prejudice in this delightful and heartfelt rom-com about a Bangladeshi American teen whose meddling mother arranges a match to secure their family’s financial security—just as she’s falling in love with someone else. Zahra Khan is basically Bangladeshi royalty, but being a princess doesn’t pay the bills in Paterson, New Jersey. While Zahra’s plans for financial security this summer involve working long hours at Chai Ho and saving up for college writing courses, Amma is convinced that all Zahra needs is a “good match,” Jane Austen style. Enter Harun Emon, who’s wealthy, devastatingly handsome, and…aloof. As soon as Zahra meets him, she knows it’s a bad match. It’s nothing like the connection she has with Nayim Aktar, the new dishwasher at the tea shop, who just gets Zahra in a way no one has before. So, when Zahra finds out that Harun is just as uninterested in this match as she is, they decide to slowly sabotage their parents’ plans. And for once in Zahra’s life, she can have her rossomalai and eat it too: “dating” Harun and keeping Amma happy while catching real feelings for Nayim. But life—and boys—can be more complicated than Zahra realizes. With her feelings all mixed up, Zahra discovers that sometimes being a good Bengali kid can be a royal pain.

Once upon a time, I had Amma to thank for my love of storytelling, but now she's become the reason I guard my hopes so deep inside my chest, where a callous comment can't blow them away like a stolen wish on dandelion fluff.

If she dismisses them- dismisses me- I don't think I can piece together the broken shards of my heart this time. It's much easier to play the role she wants, of the obedient daughter who dreams in secret, rather than risking that the only parent I have left will think less of me, after everything I've done for her.

I absolutely adored this book! Once I started I didn’t want to put it down. It’s charming, heartbreakingly honest, educational and so freaking cute!

I loved the representation, the constant twists and turns and the relationships between all the characters (friends, siblings, romantic etc)

I just wanted more 😂 so I eagerly await for the authors next book! 

Thank you so much Simon & Schuster for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.
