Finding Mr Perfectly Fine: 'I loved it. Utterly charming' Jenny Colgan, the freshest and funniest romcom of 2022

Product Information

It's the same for all of us. Throughout the novel there are so many moments, scenes and chapters where exactly that happens. Sometimes I had to laugh because one of Zara’s dates turned so awkward (we have all been there), other times I desperately wanted to know how it continues because it felt so exciting (we have all been there too) and sometimes I almost cried because some dates, some break ups were so sad or humiliating ( we have all been there too unfortunately).

I found it a bit weird that swear words were censored like just don't use them if you do not want to type them.Billboard Canadian Hot 100 Chart - April 17, 2021". Billboard. April 17, 2021 .

With every decision, every choice we make, no matter who you are, we make mistakes, fall, stand up, grow and thrive. Zara is making a lot of decisions and a lot of mistakes but grows from them and finds herself. The complex, multi-layered main character Tasneem has created here, gives the reader an unforgettable reading experience, one to learn from, one to feel compassion, but above all, one to escape the real and crazy world, to dive into the also crazy but wonderful world of Zara, her dating life and be able to laugh and relate with her experiences. I thought the characters in the book were very good the only thing I did find disappointing was the ending thought it might have ended differently. As a book of fiction, it reflects the society we live in, and I would even go as far as to say, it is also conservative at times. I only have to speak to young adults for five minutes to hear how crazily unislamic Uni and work life is for many Muslims, hijabi’s or not. It is a hard thing to balance and I applaud Tasneem for giving it a good go!

I am always looking for Muslim rep and I feel its quite hard to do. You are either too strict or too modern and you can't make everyone happy, however I felt this represented me TO THE T. I thought it could've been way shorter, the inner monologue was repetitive and kind of boring at times.With her big birthday looming, and family pressure intensifying Zara knows she must make a decision, but will she make the right one? Zara is the 29yo daughter of a Bangladeshi British family (North London, not Tower Hamlets: this is a book extremely grounded in its place). She's a moderately observant Muslim, and takes her religion and culture seriously, while also holding modern British attitudes about eg feminism that make for uneasy bedfellows. There's a lot here about the difficulty of reconciling cultures and fitting different expectations together, and a lot of people with wildly divergent views on how to live and indeed how other people should. Very like reality in fact, and I hugely liked that almost nobody is an outright villain and absolutely nobody is entirely in the right. Until. Until she didn't talk to him and just assumed things. Until he didn't talk to her and just assumed things. Until she wasn't up-front with Hamza, lying to him over and over. Until breaking Hamza's heart. She joins Muslim Mate an online dating app and even goes speed-dating – the husband hunt is most definitely on. Zara finally comes to terms with the trauma of her failed engagement to Tariq (he is bad news) and stands her ground with her family which is no mean feat I am sure.

This is supposed to be an engaging, light-hearted novel which also touches on some darker themes which are not talked about.With just a year to go, time is of the essence, so Zara joins a dating app and signs up for speed dating.

The author constantly put younger’s in a bad light by talking about how all they want is “boyfriends” and “hookups” when that’s not that case and a lot of the youth do want a pure respectful courtship and marriage.
