Review Detail

Leena’s life goal? A huge, picture-perfect family the kind you see in feel-good holiday movies, where everyone shows up in matching sweaters and argues lovingly over pie. Instead, it’s always just been her and her young single mom, holding it down solo-style. So when Leena gets a surprise call from the hospital and finds out her long-lost grandfather and aunt exist she’s suddenly living her dream! Kind of.

But dreams? They come with strings. Especially when Grandpa Tariq is charming, generous and super set on Leena converting to Islam and becoming a star student at a top university. And her mom? Very much not on board. Now Leena is caught between two families, two versions of herself, and one giant, emotional tug-of-war.

This book is funny, heart-squeezing, and oh-so-relatable! Whether you’ve ever wanted to fix your family, or just figure out your place in it, My Perfect Family will have you hooked.
