*sigh*

I wanted to enjoy this book a lot than I did - it sounded like a perfect romantic cocktail (bad boy/good girl pairing, fake dating, gorgeous cover). Ultimately the parent stuff (and the well-documented-by-other-reviewers instances of the treatment of the Muslim faith in the book) left me at odds with the attempts to write a fluffy, sweet romance. I'd check something out by this author again, but this could have done with some serious editing (464 pages in hardback is a lot for a YA romance). Fortunately the actual writing style is great and I did enjoy the central romance.
