Nada Syed, almost 30, is stuck living at home with her brothers and parents in the Golden Crescent neighborhood of Toronto, ignoring her mother's pleas to marry. She has a good job as an engineer, but she's been dealing with failures for years, and she isn't planning to start any new dreams now. She was double-crossed in business due to trusting a family friend and lost her chance to successfully launch her own darling-child tech app. She has a secret romantic failure in her past as well. But, when her best friend Maleema invites her to attend the giant annual Muslim convention held downtown, where Nada can meet Haleema's fiance, her past collides with her present, and she may have a second chance. Inspired by Jane Austen's Persuasion, another delightful page-turner from the immensely talented Jalaluddin. Berkley Romance. 2023. Paper. NEW. $15.00 Show more
