Sorry for the Inconvenience: A Memoir by Farah Naz Rishi Hardcover Book

Description: Sorry for the Inconvenience by Farah Naz Rishi, Mindy Kaling "Incredible…this story ripped my heart in two, had me grabbing for the tissues, and then put me back together again." —Mindy KalingFrom a Pakistani American author comes a bracing memoir about tradition, upending expectations, and the volatility of family, friendship, and, inevitably, love.Pakistani American Farah Naz Rishis first year of college was perfectly, thankfully, uneventful. After all, she was in college to learn and forge a path of self-sufficiency, especially after her last relationship fell apart—dashing her mothers aspirations for an early marriage. What could Farah expect, anyway? For the ideal guy to just conveniently waltz into her life? Life isnt a love story.Enter Stephen, a Jamaican student with an open smile and a disarmingly laid-back attitude. Its not love at first sight. And theres no way Farahs mother would approve of him as marriage material. But they have something better: an inexplicable connection. Through a series of impossible tragedies, grief, and trying to find her place in the world, Stephen is always there as Farahs confidant, champion, and, most of all, best friend. Anything more could ruin a perfectly good thing…Right?Spanning thirteen years of complex family dynamics and a surprising kinship, Farah Naz Rishis story explores the unpredictability of love—familial, platonic, and romantic, but never truly instant.
