About this ebook
Is this fake engagement fool proof . . . or half-baked?
When it comes to bread, Reena Manji knows exactly what she's doing. She treats her sourdough starters like (somewhat unruly) children. But when it comes to Reena's actual family - and their constant meddling in her life - well, that recipe always ends in disaster.
Now Reena's parents have found her yet another potential Good Muslim Husband. He's the perfect, mouth-watering temptation . . . and completely ruined by the unwelcome side dish of parental interference.
Reena refuses to marry anyone who works for her father. She won't be attracted to Nadim's sweet charm or gorgeous lopsided smile. That is, until the baking opportunity of a lifetime presents itself: a couples' cooking competition with the prize of her dreams. Reena will do anything to win - even asking Nadim to pretend they're engaged. But when it comes to love, baking your bread doesn't always mean you get to eat it too.

As a Muslim this book is wrong in many levels. I didn't read it but and let me quote " A young Muslim woman living in Toronto who drinks, has sex, has family in the LGBTQ community and is still trying to figure out her life while searching for love. "This is all as a Muslim so wrong. So why is the writer writting about a sinning Muslim why is she representing us like that. Firstly sex without marriage a major sin second we as Muslims and all other religions if you search we don't accept lgbtq, i am not going to harm them I don't accept them like my religion says.drink also a sin and its haram. Like why are you even a Muslim if you wont follow any of its rules. This book is making fun of us Muslims and I disapprove the book as a Muslim
