‘With Fake Dating comes Real Feelings’

Anika Hussain has delivered a young adult novel with humour, surprise and glee. I loved the feeling of anticipation as I waited for the falling in love to begin already!

What it’s about: Zara wants someone who takes her by surprise… who she feels comfortable with. Adman is her best friend and he’s convinced he’s found ‘the one.’ No, it’s not Zara. But to stay with his new girl, he has to fool everyone into believing it is Zara….

Zara loves her romcoms, she loves reading about turbulent romances while in the safety of her bedroom. She knows that fake dating leads to the real thing. But what she gets is something so beautifully unexpected.

I never knew how much I needed this book until I was a few pages in. I thought it was amazing! Everything about it, I loved. The ending is left a bit open which I wasn’t so keen on but the other elements were lovely.

I appreciated the representation of young South Asian characters, I am part of this community myself and I did love this. It was not the focus but it was not left hidden in the background.

Desi girls are like any other girls, we long for our own love story like anyone else. Our families are not all the same.

This story features young characters so expect drama, and be ready for observations on friendship, love stories and outside pressures.

I am amazed.

I received this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own and completely honest.
