Rating 4/5 🌟
This is a young adult contemporary novel.
The story basically follows Naila, a Pakistani-American teenager, who is finishing off her senior year in highschool. And is really excited to go to college.
Since her parents are really conservative, they don't allow her to do a lot because they are afraid that she's gonna be making out with guys.
The only rule they have is that she is not allowed to hangout with guys or date them especially.
But Naila ends up breaking that rule and has a boyfriend.
When her parents finds out about this, they completely freaked out. They think that Naila is losing touch with her roots and her culture. So they decide to take her and her brother to Pakistan for the summer but it turns out that it is not just a simple family vacation, and her parents are using this as an opportunity to arrange a marriage for Naila.
So this books follows her and her family, as she tries really hard to get out of this horrible situation..
The plot of the story was really amazing. Being a Pakistani, most of the character were really relatable... It started of quite slow for me but then after a few chapters I started to enjoy it a lot.
