Critics Review

Utterly gorgeous ! A smart , modern romance … I adored it

I loved [The Mismatch] - original, thought-provoking and gripping. I was hooked from the beginning and couldn’t put it down. * Libby Page *The Mismatch transported me back to that feeling of first love and first heartbreak. Enlightening, poignant and romantic - I loved it * Sophie Cousens, author of This Time Next Year *Enlightening, profound and deeply moving … a powerful love and life story of past and present Iranian experiences in the UK, and about finding a place in the world. Beautiful writing and complex, fascinating characters * Helly Acton, author of The Shelf *Contemporary, bold and fresh and captures [the] weirdness of not knowing what you want * Huma Qureshi, author of How We Met *A refreshing and engaging coming-of-age story centring a complex, relatable British-Iranian woman straddling two worlds and her search for identity, sense of self, and love, juxtaposed against her mother’s own experiences navigating the societal expectations and familial pressures placed on young women in 1970s Iran. Sara Jafari is a compelling new voice in contemporary fiction. * Lauren Ho, author of Last Tang Standing *Heartbreaking and compelling * Haleh Agar, author of Out of Touch *I absolutely devoured [it] … Soraya and Neda’s stories were so gorgeously told * Beth Reekles, author of The Kissing Booth *Utterly gorgeous! A smart, modern romance … I adored it * Abbie Greaves *A compelling read … the family dynamics are so brilliantly charted * Zeba Talkhani, author of My Past is a Foreign Country *Wonderful vibrant characters and [a] wickedly dry sense of humour. Absolutely loved it * Kirsty Capes, debut author of Careless *
