More Than Just a Pretty Face – Online Free
More Than Just a Pretty Face is a good book by author Syed M. Masood.
This hilariously sweet coming-of-age story about love, family expectations, and being a Renaissance Man.
Danyal Jilani does not lack confidence. He may not be the smartest person in the room, but he’s funny, handsome, and will make a great cook one day. His father disapproved of his choice of profession, but it hardly mattered. In the opinion of Danyal’s longtime lover, Kaval is perfect in every way, and her family, who see him as a less than ideal arranged marriage prospect.
Danyal was selected to participate in Renaissance Man, a school-wide academic championship, which was the perfect opportunity to show everyone that he’s smarter than they thought he was. He recruits the smart, completely uninterested Bisma to help in the competition. The more time Danyal spends with her… the more he learns from her… the more he cooks for her… he realizes that happiness may be on the horizon. look at his pretty face.
Danyal is an Indian-American with typical teenage problems. He is a culinary whiz kid and the kitchen is his happy place but he has always had trouble in school. And he has a crush on a girl. In the Muslim world of arranged marriages a crush is complicated. His parents have already started lining up eligible young ladies for him to think about and the girl of his dreams hasn’t made the list.
But, then, as a joke, he gets nominated for the biggest school contest of the year. He is the slacker with the lowest GPA competing with a group of high scoring, hard working scholars. But the intensity of the Renaissance Man competition takes hold and Danyal finds a tantalizing and heady subject and an unlikely mentor, Bisma, a mysterious young woman with a complicated life of her own. This book crackles with quiet brilliance. It examines so many subjects, history, food, family, cultures, and love and does it with a pungent intensity that will keep the reader turning pages until the last moment.
