True love isn’t like it’s portrayed in the movies…or is it?
Samira is 27 - and the fact that she hasn’t found her match is the least interesting thing about her. She is crushing it at her job, helping plan her cousin’s wedding, hanging out with her besties and spouting movie references like it’s nobody’s business. After a series of mismatched arranged meetings fall through - no one is as shocked as her when she finds herself at the center of a love triangle! When everyone and their mother has an opinion on who she should marry it’s up to Samira to do some soul searching, forge her own path and choose her future.
