Iqra
I’ve always known that people see me as some sort of clown. Well, I’ll have you know, I’m not. What I am, is unique!So the thing is, with everyone in Starville Towers getting married with flawless precision, my mother was freaking out that she hadn’t found a husband for me. So the moment a proposal landed on our doorstep, Ammi said ‘yes’ before any of us could blink. Never mind that it was the guy who was supposed to have married my cousin. Never mind that I didn't get to meet him and ask why he was marrying me instead... never mind that he couldn't even bring himself to look at me.
We were getting married and well, that was that ...

Praise for Accidentally Married
"Laugh out loud funny, delightfully snarky and heartwarmingly tender, this is by far my favorite book by Andaleeb Wajid. Ahad and Areesha are as real as they are wonderful and Accidentally Married is the best enemies to romance love story I've read so far." - Shilpa Suraj
"A delightful and very contemporary story of a young couple finding themselves, in a familiar setting of loving but meddling families, funny traditions and commonplace problems of daily life and earning livelihoods--shot through with the magical possibilities of love. As usual, Andaleeb Wajid takes a very believable setting and characters who seem familiar, and transforms it into something frothy and yet believable with the persuasive power of her imagination." - Sayoni Basu
"A hilarious book with sizzling chemistry, and loveable characters. Definitely one of Andaleeb’s best books." - Apeksha Rao
"Areesha and Ahad's story is the stuff that dream desi rom-coms are made of - a feuding couple with an interesting back story that is uncovered slowly and steadily, family members they love and who love to meddle in their affairs, a big fat Indian wedding and a whole lot of of sizzling chemistry." - Namrata Sadhvani

Praise for This Time, Forever
They don't make men like Jawad anymore and so Andaleeb Wajid had to write so we could spend our days lost in unattainable dreams. I would fight Tazeen for him, both in reality and in fiction – Shilpa Suraj
I’ve been waiting for this story ever since Andaleeb began the series, and I have to say that it was worth the wait! Jawad is as swoon-worthy as I thought he would be, and Tazeen is the perfect foil for him. All in all, a must read! – Apeksha Rao
Tazeen & Jawad make you mad… and then make you madly fall in love with them! Their journey of discovering themselves & each other is so beautiful & sumptuous! Andaleeb has a tremendous way with words. They instantly capture your heart & take you on a wild ride! I haven’t been the same after being introduced to Jawad. My heart is now aflutter! – Lubna Sayed
Jawad and Tazeen's story is sizzling, literally - with the amazing, unexplored chemistry they both share and figuratively with the undercurrents of what's happening in their relationship and their lives. It's a wonderful reminder that different people have different expectations from their relationships, and that communication is really the best key to a happy, successful marriage. Jawad is a total dream, matched beautifully with the perfection of Tazeen. Can't wait for readers to experience their magic! - Namrata Sadhvani

Okay, let me go back to the beginning. I'm living my dream life with Saad, away from the family, in a new neighbourhood and everything is perfect. Except that my next-door neighbour, a crusty old lady, who yells at everyone and whom everyone on the street hates, seems to hate me?
