I think this book was trying to say and do a lot and that is admirable, but didn’t do everything quite as well as it could have, if it were more focussed. I feel like the constant issues in the book were a bit too over exaggerated and I just genuinely think this book was unrealistic. Zara has just turned 29 and her Mother has decided if she is not married by the time she is 30 she will put her on a plane to where the family originally came from to find a husband there.

as the author said "I agree, this is definitely not an ‘Islamic’ book - just one that has Muslim characters with varying levels of Deen and imaan, and prone to making mistakes along the way. However, you have to read this in context as it is reflective of non-mainstream Bengali attitudes too, not to mention that in Islam, hijab is meant to ‘hide’ your beauty, not display it. million streams in the US and topped Billboard Country Streaming Songs chart, marking Swift's fifth chart-topper. The upbeat drums accompanied with subtle rock inspired guitars and analogue synths underneath a song about naïve love and heartbreak that causes more inconvenience and annoyance than it does pain are staples of that era.I was quite surprised to learn that this was the author’s debut novel but I can honestly say she’s done a fantastic job. 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. Perfectly Fine" peaked at number 30 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the Hot Country Songs chart. That it wouldn't complete her life just complement it and then still makes no decisions about anything. Perfectly Fine" brings back memories of "your high-school heartbreak", boasting a "classic T-Swift bridge and a final, soaring chorus".

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. The knowing in your bones that they love you and what’s best for you but the way they are showing it doesn’t chime. Zara was a bit annoying in her indecisiveness but she's a protagonist of a romance novel, it's not her fault. 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.Perfectly Fine" was released for download and streaming without prior promotion on April 7, 2021, via Republic Records. The online dating is wonderfully done and the traditional matchmaking equally painful, and the sense of a desperate hope and willingness to ignore red flags is very well done and relatable. Perfectly Fine" debuted at 82 on the issue dated April 17, 2021, [35] and rose to number 23 in the next week, [36] ultimately spending 4 weeks on the chart.

Zara is not averse to getting married and she is looking for love but just hasn’t found the right person yet.
