I absolutely adored reading The Love Match by Priyanka Taslim!
I didn't know how much I would like this one with an idea of an arranged marriage, but I loved every minute of it!
Zahra is set up by her mother to get to know Harun, whose family has money and hopes for their match to secure her daughter to not struggle through life. But Zahra and Harun hatches their own plan:
💖Fake Dating which Zahra and Harun nicknamed "The Eight Dates of Summer"
-Their plan was to do whatever they could to make it seem like they'd be a disaster couple, so their parents would put the whole matchmaking ruse out of their heads by September
Little does Zahra know she soon has a Love Triangle in the mix with her new coworker Nayim.
Just based on the cover I knew there was going to be some sort of love triangle but as I was reading I had no idea who Zahra would choose, Nayim or Harun. At one moment I would think one person was best and then another instance the other person. But I am beyond thrilled she ended up with the person she did because they seemed more in-tuned to each others likes, dreams, and family!
💖 I also loved Zahra's close knit friends! These group of friends are ones who you know would always be there for you no matter!
I highly recommend picking this one up and adding to your tbr. And here are a few other things I loved about this one:
💕Bangladeshi rep
💕Southasian main cast
💕Tea shop setting (you know how much I love my teas)
💕Meddling ammas and aunties
💕Sapphic side-ship
💕Family love
💕Matchmaking
💕Love triangle
💕Coming-of-age
