Zara and Adnan have been best friends for ever but their families and friends have always assumed that they will get together one day. When Adnan asks Zara to pretend to be his girlfriend to cover up a secret relationship, Zara reluctantly agrees, because the idea makes her family so happy. But she has watched too many romcoms not to know how fake dating usually turns out…
I really enjoyed this charming, heartfelt YA romance and the subverted romcom tropes kept me guessing. Zara is a great protagonist, though I think I loved her family even more than her! I’ll definitely be recommending this one in the school library – perfect for fans of ‘Never Have I Ever’.
