'If there's one book you need to read this summer it's Finding Mr Perfectly Fine' Yousra Imran

Last week I turned 29. Along with the usual homemade Victoria sponge, helium balloon and Selfridges gift vouchers, my Mum's birthday present to me was the threat that if I'm not engaged by my 30th birthday, she's sending me off to the Motherland to find a fresh-from-the-Desh husband

When Zara's Mum puts together the most archaic of arranged marriage resources (not exactly the romcom-worthy love story she had envisioned for herself), she is soon exhausted by her family's failed attempts to set her up with every vaguely suitable Abdul, Ahmed and Farook that they can find. Zara decides to take matters into her own hands. How hard can it be to find a husband at twenty-nine?

With just a year to go, time is of the essence, so Zara joins a dating app and signs up for speed dating.
She meets Hamza, a kind British Egyptian who shares her values and would make a good husband. Zara knows that not all marriages are based on love (or lust) at first sight but struggles with the lack of spark. Particularly when she can't stop thinking of someone else . . .

As her next birthday looms, and family pressure intensifies, Zara knows she must make a decision, but will she make the right one? Contemporary Contemporary Romance Islamic Heritage Multicultural Romance South Asian Creators Marriage

Really enjoyed listening to this book, the characters were developed well and they felt real. I can relate to a lot of it being of the same cultural and faith background. There were lots of hilarious moments where I laughed out loud There are lots of twists to the book that were not predictable. I think it provides a good glimpse into love and marriage and family in a middle class Bengali family. I would highly recommend it as a easy and enjoyable listen. My only issue is with the narrator, some of the Bengali she got totally wrong and her non English accents were sometimes really off key which did spoil it for me and I think will do for other readers who understand accents otherwise I love this debut book by Tasneem can't wait to read what else she writes.
