The Love Match

To All the Boys Ive Loved Before meets Pride and Prejudice in this swoony and thoughtful romantic comedy from debut author Priyanka Taslim. Zahra Khan is basically Bangladeshi royalty but being a princess doesnt pay the bills in New Jersey. While Zahra plans to save money for college by working through the summer at a tea shop, her meddling mum is convinced that a good match in marriage will solve their familys financial woes. Enter Harun Emon, the wealthy, devastatingly handsome and . . . aloof boy Zahra is set up with. As soon as they meet, Zahra and Harun both know its not going to work. Its nothing like the connection she has with Nayim Aktar, the new dishwasher at the tea shop, who just gets her in a way no one has before. Deciding to slowly sabotage their parents plans, Zahra and Harun pretend to date, while Zahra explores her feelings for Nayim. For once in Zahras life, she can have her rossomalai and eat it too. But life and boys can be a royal pain. With her feelings all mixed up, will Zahra be a good Bengali kid or can she find her one true love match? Perfect for fans of Jenny Han, Sandhya Menon, Emma Lord and Beth OLeary.
