What to expect
A fresh, witty romantic-comedy romp set against the backdrop of a high-profile music competition and a riotous Indian wedding
Zurika Damani is a naturally gifted violinist with a particular love for hip-hop beats. But as she is part of a big Indian family, everyone has expectations, and those certainly don’t include hip-hop violin. After being rejected by the Juilliard School, Zuri’s last hope is a contest judged by a panel of top-tier college scouts. The only problem? This coveted competition happens to take place during Zuri’s sister’s extravagant wedding week. And Zuri has already been warned, repeatedly, that she is not to miss a single moment.
In the midst of the chaos, Zuri’s mom is in matchmaking mode with the groom’s South African cousin Naveen—who just happens to be a cocky vocalist set on stealing Zuri’s spotlight at the scouting competition. Luckily, Zuri has a crew of loud and loyal female cousins cheering her on.
Now, all she has to do is to wow the judges for a top spot, evade getting caught by her parents, resist Naveen’s charms, and, oh yeah—not mess up her sister’s big fat Indian wedding. What could possibly go wrong?

-
“Patel lovingly portrays the rich and vibrant festivities of a Gujarati Hindu wedding celebration…A sweet and entertaining romp.”
Kirkus Reviews -
“Many teens will be able to relate to Zurika’s persistence in following her dreams and courage in speaking up for herself. Zurika also embraces her Indo-Trinidadian roots and bucks against white beauty standards…A warm hug of a novel.”

“Provides a sweeping portrait of the South Asian diaspora and offers an affectionate and lushly detailed window into the family’s wedding experience.”
