For an ambitious attorney and a rising-star chef, a cross-cultural fake romance takes an unexpected detour in this warm, funny novel by the author of Much Ado About Nada and Ayesha at Last.
When Sameera Malik and Tom Cooke meet at a dull holiday party, romance is the last thing on either of their minds. Sameera is buried in brutal hours at her law firm, recovering from heartbreak, and trying to find her footing after a recent family estrangement. Tom is chasing a real culinary career from his social media fame while fending off pressure to give up his chef dreams and move back home.
After one of Tom’s posts sparks a viral rumor that they’re dating, he suggests they keep up the act for a few months. The arrangement is mutually beneficial: the fauxmance could boost Tom’s profile, and in return, he can help Sameera impress a wealthy client.
Then their families get involved.
When Sameera’s very Muslim parents insist on meeting Tom’s very not Muslim family over Christmas in rural Alaska, the fake relationship collides with holiday chaos, culture clash, and plenty of strong opinions. But as the Maliks and Cookes trade traditions, misunderstandings, and unsolicited advice, Sameera and Tom begin to realize their pretend romance may be turning into something real.
