A hilarious, heartwarming rom-com about the most complicated, extravagant, and romantic destination wedding of the year--and the sister caught between the planner and her perfect date.
When 17-year-old Zara Evans flies across the globe to India for her sister's lavish wedding, she's expecting three weeks of vibrant celebrations, complicated family drama, and maybe a little distraction from her own messy high school life. She certainly isn't expecting to be caught between two incredibly attractive, totally different boys.
On one side is Jay, the impossibly gorgeous and sweet groomsman who seems like the perfect distraction from reality--and might just be the one to sweep her off her feet. On the other is Leo, the meticulous and annoyingly handsome assistant wedding planner. He's bossy, cynical, and drives Zara crazy, but their constant, competitive sparring reveals a sharp, undeniable chemistry.
As the wedding festivities--from the intricate henna party to the dizzying sangeet--escalate across the glamorous Indian resort, Zara has to navigate her well-meaning but over-the-top family, her sister's sudden case of wedding jitters, and a fierce battle between her head and her heart. With one boy representing perfect, easy romance and the other standing for messy, complicated truth, Zara must figure out what she truly wants before the big day arrives.
My Sister's Big Fat Indian Wedding is a vibrant, funny, and unforgettable novel that captures the joy of family, the stunning spectacle of an Indian wedding, and the exhilarating confusion of falling in love when you least expect it.
