The Mismatch
by Sara Jafari
At its core, The Mismatch is a coming-of-age story as Soraya Nazari struggles to find her path after graduating from university. Finding her way is so much more difficult than she imagined, but the only thing worse than missing out on every job she's applied to is the possibility of returning home to live with her parents. No family is perfect, and the Nazaris have many secrets they are holding tight to in the hopes of portraying the perfect Muslim family. Contrasting Soraya's current struggles are flashback chapters featuring her mother and father's beginnings and journey from Iran to England.
The Mismatch is a striking look at family dynamics, addiction, and self-discovery. However, the romance fell flat for me. Soraya is shallow in her search to find someone to kiss, and I struggled to believe in her and Magnus as a couple. The best parts were the flashbacks from her mother, Neda, and I believe her story would have been even more powerful alone.
