Think Love Actually, with a splash of East is East, throw in a sprinkle of Bridget Jones and then bring it all into the 2020s.
“Zara and Adnan are just friends. Always have been, always will be. Even if they have to pretend to be girlfriend and boyfriend...”
When friends pretend to be lovers in order to satisfy their parents, things get complicated.
It’s hard to say who the target audience is for this book. The rom-com style would suggest adults but they way in which it’s written seems to me to aim more towards teens and young adults, which is the age of the main characters (end of school / start of college age). It’s not the kind of thing I would have read when I was that age but that’s 25 years ago so maybe readers and audiences have changed since then.
It’s very lighthearted in tone and uses contemporary language, as well as colloquial terms of endearment.
