I should definitely start this review by saying I’m definitely not the target age group for this but I do enjoy some YA fiction reads however for me this is far more of a read for actual teens as some of the content just went straight over my head! That said it’s great to read about a modern Desi family, in particular teenager Zara who despite being frustrated at the expectation amongst her peers that she’ll date her Desi friend Adnan agrees to fame date him to protect his secret relationship whilst taking the opportunity to please her own parents. I didn’t feel convinced by her parents falling out in honesty which for me made it more difficult to feel her motivation to go along with Adnan’s pretence, I was also difficult for me to understand why she had to go along on a date at his girlfriends house for example but this might be me being too old to get it! Overall it was a fresh take with some refreshingly different characters but just not for me.
