Finding Mr Perfectly Fine: 'I loved it. Utterly charming' Jenny Colgan, the freshest and funniest romcom of 2022

Product Information

In all honesty, neither seems like a great way to set yourself up with a life long partner and as Zara finds herself getting increasingly confused and frazzled as to what she is actually looking for, she stops and re-assesse her goals and what she really wants. I really appreciated that the book was authentic to our culture and did not try to portray Muslims as being ‘perfect’ in our deen but at the same time did not try to whitewash our religion to suit the non-Muslim narratives. Zara’s quest of finding a perfect match, whilst also dealing with her meddling family and trying to decide what’s more important in a relationship: comfort or chemistry, was really interesting and also low-key relatable.

Dragged on a bit hence 4 stars overall. The ending was a let down to be honest. Felt it was geared towards a being acceptable for a white audience. The dating/courtship scenes was more white than muslim asian courting. The muslim representation had a lot of white liberal feminist undertones which I don't personally agree with.

A funny, banter filled must-find-a-husband-before-I-turn-thirty rom com that also explored an array of issues. Petridis, Alexis (April 9, 2021).

Zara’s story, getting to know her and her culture, was captivating and I felt like the author portrayed her emotions beautifully; but damn, some of the scenes in later chapters were brutally painful to read. Still, even though it was painful, I am glad about what happened in chapter 30, and think it was for the best. The ending (epilogue) was too abrupt for me though. I am generally not a fan of open endings, so the last scene was just not enough closure for me, but that’s only my opinion. At least the ending leaves us hopeful that there might be a happy ending in the near future for her and her Mr Perfectly Fine. This book has all the ingredients that one needs to make it relatable and entertaining, surprising readers with unexpected twists and revelations with an unpredictable ending. I am still mad at the ending of this book and was on the verge of giving the book 2 stars just for that ending. My biggest shout out today is buy your self a copy of Finding Mr Perfectly Fine, about Zara why she has to find a husband. Zara works in a department, Community Engagement, where she once thought an attractive colleague Adam who is Turkish, might have possibly been the one guy for her.

I was quite surprised to learn that this was the author’s debut novel but I can honestly say she’s done a fantastic job. I think that people from the South Asian community can relate to Zara as a person but can also relate to what she is going through.

Retrieved June 19, 2023.Zara is a bit Bridget Jones without the booze: chaotic life, series of terrible decisions. She does a lot of romcom heroine things (including bumping into people and spilling things, my kingdom for one single romcom heroine with basic spatial awareness) and, more to the point, pursuing her goal of getting married before she's 30 with more enthusiasm than sense. The online dating is wonderfully done and the traditional matchmaking equally painful, and the sense of a desperate hope and willingness to ignore red flags is very well done and relatable. It is so difficult to meet people after a certain age,no matter what culture you are from,without certain questions coming to the fore, especially for women. Lipshutz, Jason (February 11, 2021).
