Summary

What I think it did was give a good glimpse into this family’s life, some relationships and the weird combination of love and pressure that you can feel from your family. The knowing in your bones that they love you and what’s best for you but the way they are showing it doesn’t chime. I think this book could have included the word colourism, and could have included Zara going to therapy. With Zara, I don’t really have the ability to build the complexities of her inner life to know that I’ve left her in a good place. I don’t think she asked herself the hard questions about people’s actions and motives and I’m unsure if she ever will. Which is okay if it’s purposeful, but it didn’t feel like that either.

It is so lovely to read about this empowered and headstrong woman who is battling with her sense of pride I finding herself a husband before her family do it for her. 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 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.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t think I would like it as much as I did, as often south Asian authors write from a particular view point, which falls on one or the other end of the spectrum . This seemed like the perfect balance and I became invested in Zara’s quest to find her perfect partner!

A funny, banter filled must-find-a-husband-before-I-turn-thirty rom com that also explored an array of issues.

I totally understand as the eldest there’s certain rules and regulations to adhere to but I feel like things just happened to her and she just went along with it.
