Three Holidays and a Wedding by Uzma Jalaluddin and Marissa Stapley
Anna is headed from Denver to Toronto to spend the holidays with her boyfriend Nick and his family. On the same flight is Maryam Aziz, who is travelling with her grandfather, parents, and her younger sister Saima for Saima's wedding--but a severe snowstorm strands everyone in the picturesque small town of Snow Falls. Anna is sad to be spending Christmas and Hanukkah alone, even though she has doubts that Nick is the one for her. Maryam, meanwhile, blurted out her feelings for old family friend, Saif, to her seatmate on the plane, Anna. Saif, unfortunately, was sitting right behind them and heard everything. Anna's and Maryam's friendship starts off rocky, but soon they are supporting and encouraging each other to follow their heart--Anna with an actor who's filming a movie in Snow Falls, and Maryam with Saif. Three Holidays and a Wedding is a feel-good romantic story filled with loveable characters (like Maryam's grandfather--a famous retired Bollywood director) and vivid descriptions of food--especially when Maryam's family breaks their fast at sunset, since the book takes place during Ramadan.
