Romance Contemporary
In Zara Raheem's fresh, funny, smart debut, a young,
Muslim-American woman is given three months to find the
right husband or else her traditional Indian parents will
find one for her—a novel with a universal story that
everyone can relate to about the challenges of falling in
love.
To Leila Abid's traditional Indian parents,
finding a husband in their South Asian-Muslim American
community is as easy as match, meet, marry. But for Leila, a
marriage of arrangement clashes with her lifelong dreams of
a Bollywood romance which has her convinced that real love
happens before marriage, not the other way
around.
Finding the right husband was always part of
her life-plan, but after 26 years of singledom, even Leila
is starting to get nervous. And to make matters worse, her
parents are panicking, the neighbors are talking, and she's
wondering, are her expectations just too high? So Leila
decides it's time to stop dreaming and start
dating.
She makes a deal with her parents: they'll
give her three months, until their 30th wedding anniversary,
to find a husband on her own terms. But if she fails,
they'll take over and arrange her marriage for
her.
With the stakes set, Leila succumbs to the
impossible mission of satisfying her parents' expectations,
while also fulfilling her own western ideals of love. But
after a series of speed dates, blind dates, online dates and
even ambush dates, the sparks just don't fly! And now, with
the marriage clock ticking, and her 3-month deadline looming
in the horizon, Leila must face the consequences of what
might happen if she doesn't find "the one…"
