Who doesn't love a love triangle? 💓

Our main character Zahra Khan has put her dreams of becoming a writer on the back burner to support her family living in Paterson, NJ 🇺🇸. Her mother has big plans on setting her up with a wealthy Bangladeshi boy by setting them up on a blind date - with both of their entire families present of course 😅.

I deeply appreciated the way that Priyanka Taslim was able to depict these characters and instill so much of the Bangladeshi culture in the story. The language, the characters, the food, and so much more was so beautifully represented in this story! 🇧🇩

The fake dating and love triangle tropes were pulled off wonderfully. Even though I felt the story was very predictable at times, I still enjoyed the dynamic between Zahra, Harun, and Nayim 💘.

The family loyalty Zahra felt was such a clash with the desires of her heart. I was rooting for her the whole time! I finished the book within a day, with a smile because it was such a cute read.

*I always appreciate a good Gilmore Girls reference. The Friday night dinner reference did not leave my mind every time the scene was set in the Emon household.

Thank you to Simon and Schuster Canada and NetGalley for an eARC of The Love Match in exchange for my honest review 💜
