About the Book

A joyful romantic comedy retelling of Jane Austen’s Emma!

I know what you’re thinking: poor little rich girl, she has everything, what else could she possibly need? Well, I’m looking for the great love of my life, thank you very much.

For Long Island native Humaira Mirza, it’s always been about love – and she has the matchmaking track record to prove it. Having successfully found ‘the one’ for both her aunt and her sister, the twenty-three-year-old is ready to claim a bit of romance for herself.

The perfect candidate? The gorgeous Rizwan Ali. But as Humaira employs her unique skills to obtain the perfect match with Rizwan, she’s forced to endure the disapproval of family friend Fawad Sheikh who she’s known forever. Fawad and Humaira have long traded barbs but as her romantic meddling leads to unintentional misadventures, she realises something shocking – is she starting to care what Fawad thinks?

My thoughts 

This was one of the cutest romances I've read in a while. I enjoyed reading about the main characters, and the antics they had to deal with from family and friends. It kept me laughing, entertained and rooting for love. Now I know a lot of people have said it's a retelling of a Jane Austin story, and TBH, I've never read a Jane Austin book ( although I've heard of her, they were not something that I wanted to read), so as far as that aspect, I can't say that it is or is not accurate, but what I will say is that I loved this story and couldn't put it down until I was completely done with it. This is definitely an author that I will look for future works from.
