Clueless meets Jenna Evans Welch in this rom-com about a spoiled American teenager who faces some major culture shock and potential romance when she jets off to Bangladesh for her sister’s wedding.

Bibi Hossain was supposed to get her first kiss this summer but her family has one arcane rule: no boys until your sister gets married.

Just when Bibi thinks she’ll be stuck spending her summer at their fried chicken chain, her oh-so-perfect older sister Halima drops a bombshell: she’s marrying the heir of a princely estate turned tea garden in Bangladesh. Soon, Bibi is hopping on the next flight to Sylhet for Halima’s Big Fat Bengali Wedding, hoping Abbu might even rethink the dating ban while they’re there.

Unfortunately, the stuffy Rahmans are a nightmare – especially Sohel, the groom’s younger brother. The only thing they can agree on is that their siblings are not a good match. But as the two scheme to break their siblings up, Bibi finds it impossible to stay away from the infuriatingly handsome boy.

Could her own happily ever after be brewing even as she stirs up trouble for her sister’s engagement – or is there more steeping at the tea estate than Bibi knows?

Perfect for fans of Jenny Han, Sandhya Menon, Emma Lord and Beth O’Leary.
