Quinn and Tarek’s family work together in the wedding business. Quinn’s family plans weddings and Tarek’s family caters. When Quinn confessed her feelings to Tarek, he left her with no reply. But when he shows up in the summer for another wedding, her feelings for him grow.

This book tries to have representation about mental health, diversity, and religion, but it doesn’t do a good job about it. This book seems cute on the outside, but while reading and analyzing this book, it’s just a train wreck. It seems like the author tried to make Tarek, a Muslim character, seem careless about his religion. He acknowledges that there are certain rules, but he does not care about them nor does he try to better himself. Practicing Muslims care about their religion and this book does not provide accurate representation. If the author researched more, then maybe this book would have been bearable for me to read. The book also wasn’t paced in a good way either.  I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone because it seems like there was no energy placed into making the characters.
