Product Description
Tala, a London-based Palestinian, is preparing for her elaborate Middle Eastern wedding when she meets Leyla, a young British Indian woman who is dating her best friend.
Spirited Christian Tala and shy Muslim Leyla could not be more different from each other, but the attraction is immediate and goes deeper than friendship. As Tala’s wedding day approaches, simmering tensions come to boiling point and the pressure mounts for Tala to be true to herself.
Moving between the vast enclaves of Middle Eastern high society and the stunning backdrop of London’s West End, I Can’t Think Straight explores the clashes between East and West, love and marriage, conventions and individuality, creating a humorous and tender story of unexpected love and unusual freedoms.

i wanna be with someone who, ten years from now, makes my heart jump when I hear her key in the door,the someone is you.
评分Well not necessarily better than the movie, in some case, screenwriting was better. However, the book offered more details and room for imagination. Movie is one of this thing, that you have to show everything in as little as two hours.
