"I used to be a princess. Now I'm a wife to a stranger, in a country that doesn't feel like home." Aleenah thought life would begin after school - maybe she'd study medicine, maybe fall in love. But then her father fell sick, a marriage was arranged, and her voice was buried under everyone else's decisions. Now she's trapped between duty and heartbreak. Between who she was and who she's expected to be. A raw, emotional Muslim love story about family, sacrifice, betrayal, and the things we never say. Sometimes, silence isn't peace. It's survival.

I wouldn't trade my best friend for anyone else in the world. He's amazing, funny, supportive, and everything that is great. He can be a little protective at times but it's okay since he doesn't go overboard with it. There's only one teeny little thing that I don't really like about him. Well, it's actually a big thing. It's what he is. It's that fact that he's the biggest player I've ever met! At first, I thought that I had a problem with my heart since it beats erratically whenever I see a certain blue eyed boy but then I realized that I might have a teeny little crush on my best friend. Not that I'll ever tell anyone. Not even Mels or Austen who are my other best friends. As long as Mike is still my best friend, it's all that matters. He's like my rock. I won't let a stupid crush ruin our years of friendship. The problem is that it's hard to forget about a crush since I see him literally every single day at school and the fact that he lives right next door.

"Because I was thinking the same thing." || The rules? Easy enough. 1. Pretend to be the perfect couple. 2. Keep it professional. 3. And whatever you do, don't. catch. feelings. Simple, right?

The stolen glances that feel too dangerous. The moment where "pretend" starts looking way too real. Because when you break the rules, someone's bound to lose. And this time, it might be both of them.
