The Mismatch
A kiss is never just a kiss in The Mismatch, a cross-generational story about love, family, faith, and finding yourself.
Enlightening, poignant, and romantic . . . The Mismatch transported me back to that feeling of first love and first heartbreak.Sophie Cousens, New York Times bestselling author of This Time Next Year
Now that Soraya Nazari has graduated from university, she thinks its time to get some of the life experience she feels shes lacking, partly due to her strict upbringingand Magnus Evans seems like the perfect way to get it.
Where shes the somewhat timid, artistic daughter of Iranian immigrants, Magnus is the quintessential British lad. They have little in common, so theres no way Soraya could ever fall for him. Whats the harm in having some fun as she navigates her postgrad life? And he could give her some distance from her increasingly complicated home life, where things are strained by her fathers struggles, her mothers unhappiness and her eldest sisters estrangement under a vague cloud of shame fifteen years earlier.
Distracting herself with Magnus is easy at first. But just as Soraya realizes theres more to Magnus than she thought, long-buried secrets, and hard questions, begin to surfacewill any of her relationships survive the truth coming out?
Moving between modern-day London and revolutionary Iran, The Mismatch is a gorgeously written coming-of-age story that follows a young woman as she finds love in a most unexpected place, and a path in life amid two different cultures.
