Right? Spanning thirteen years of complex family dynamics and a surprising kinship, Farah Naz Rishi\'s story explores the unpredictability of love--familial, platonic, and romantic, but never truly instant..
Through a series of impossible tragedies, grief, and trying to find her place in the world, Stephen is always there as Farah\'s confidant, champion, and, most of all, best friend.
But they have something better: an inexplicable connection.
And there\'s no way Farah\'s mother would approve of him as marriage material.
