This was a fun, light-hearted, very predictable romance.  It’s just what’s needed when real life is stressful.  I enjoyed learning more about Pakistani wedding traditions and the overall “bad luck” theme of the book.  Good read!

This book was the perfect blend of so many things. Sweet, moving, culturally rich, hilarious, and relevant. There were so many tropes but they all felt well-inserted in the story and like a natural flow of the plot. Grumpy/sunshine, one bed, forced proximity, and others that I can't quite leave here. It was also very clean and wholesome.

I'm not a fan of the 'feminist' movement taking over EVERY book, so I didn't give it a full rating. But beyond that. It was great!

Bottom line, this book is so great! Go read it!

slow-paced

Obviously I am white and not a Muslim so take my opinion with a grain of salt. The romance was cute and I liked it but parts of the book felt weird to me. I don't understand why you would talk about the rules of the religion if you were just going to have her break them. I got it at the beginning when they thought they were going to die and when she needed a place to stay. It made sense why they touched then. But I didn't understand why they touched when they were sightseeing. I get it because it's to move the romance along but why say that they are both Muslim if they are just going to break the rules the whole time?
