Zara and Adnan have been friends since they were young. Every one they know has, at some point, suggested they would make a perfect couple. They have always mocked the suggestion…but when Adnan falls for Cami, the new girl with a protective father, the pair decide to pretend to be in a relationship to keep the truth hidden.
So much of the drama here could have been avoided if people talked. I’m not convinced anyone in real life makes things that complicated. However, the story wouldn’t have been as entertaining!
When Zara finds herself in her own potential love story, things get a lot more complicated. Determined to try and keep her side of the bargain, things get very messy.
From start to finish it’s hard not to find these two so endearing. Though their actions may have been crazy, they were carried out with good intentions. Problems arise, but welcome to see the importance of being true to yourself and not being over concerned with keeping others happy.
Thanks to NetGalley for giving me the chance to read and review this.
