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

Product Information

She has people around her who love her and say their concerns but she doesn’t seem to pay them *any* attention at all. The dialogue throughout is so realistic, with family debates held at high volume and the reported messages via text and online having the ring of truth. Perfectly Fine" debuted at number one on the Billboard Country Digital Song Sales chart dated April 17, 2021, marking Swift's 17th number one entry on the chart and replacing Swift's own " You All Over Me" from the top spot. Tasneem Abdur-Rashid’s debut novel is fun, fast paced, filled with plot twists, complex and complicated characters, making the story feel alive, vibrant and authentic. This is a used book - there is no escaping the fact it has been read by someone else and it will show signs of wear and previous use.

Zara’s heart beats for love, family and friendship and I think it is safe to say that there is a little bit of Zara in all of us because she is such an authentic and flawed, crazy and beautiful character (I think I sound like Adam now). When I was reading this book I honestly looked at certain parts and felt that this story was written about me. Taylor Swift Dropped The First Previously Unreleased Track From "Fearless" And It's A Cozy Trip Down Memory Lane". casually cruel", resembling the lyric "So casually cruel in the name of being honest" in Swift's song " All Too Well" from Red (2012).She does a lot of romcom heroine things (including bumping into people and spilling things, my kingdom for one single romcom heroine with basic spatial awareness) and, more to the point, pursuing her goal of getting married before she's 30 with more enthusiasm than sense. Zara’s mother quickly starts to choose the best picture of her daughter from the thousands of picture on her phone and sets Zara to work creating a marriage CV. This was, for the most part a fun read, while still dealing with more serious topics like the family pressure to marry and expectations of Asian women, as well as the double standards in how the community treats young women and men. It does bring up the question though, is being married to anybody better than being single and happy? Perfectly Fine" peaked at number 30 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the Hot Country Songs chart.

I totally understand as the eldest there’s certain rules and regulations to adhere to but I feel like things just happened to her and she just went along with it. I’ve always listened to every type of music and even though Fearless is a country album, there were always these pop melodies creeping in. Taylor released this “From the Vault” song as a surprise promotional single at 9:00 AM EDT on April 7th, two days before the release date of Fearless (Taylor’s Version).Very like reality in fact, and I hugely liked that almost nobody is an outright villain and absolutely nobody is entirely in the right. I think my main issue is that Zara learns about herself but doesn’t seem able to apply that knowledge to herself or her relationships or those she interacts with.

I loved reading Tasneem Abdul-Rashid’s debut novel Finding Mr Perfectly Fine, as I’m interested in reading fictional stories about different cultures. Will Zara choose her handsome but unsuitable work colleague, or the dentist from Bangladesh, or the Egyptian man she meets at a Muslim chocolate-making event? Zara needs to decide if she's going to pick Hamza as absolutely the right choice on paper and hope to fall in love later, or to pursue something with Adam that's much more passionate but which her family would really not like.She then generously sent me a digital copy of her book with her final edit notes on it, weeks before release! It's a great ending for a book about a woman who's really screwed up her life by trying to jam a whole lot of mutually incompatible aims and desires together, instead of picking one aim and sticking to it. I learnt things about Islam that I hadn’t previously known as well as about Bengali, Egyptian and Turkish culture which was something I enjoyed reading about. Whilst I, a person who herself is muslim and desi and understand what you're trying to say, I know many outside readers wont.

The problem seems to be that it is not always the one who seems perfect on paper that she feels something for, but can she really carry on ignoring all the pressure to actually decide?Whilst it’s more common now to remain single or marry much later, first-generation parents are often conflicted and find this hard to accept.
