She's All That goes desi in this hilarious, affecting, and sweetly
romantic comedy by the author of More Than Just a Pretty Face.
Arsalan has learned everything he knows from Nana, his 100-year-old
great-grandfather. This includes the fact that when Nana dies,
Arsalan will be completely alone in the world, except for his
estranged and abusive father. So he turns to Beenish, the
step-daughter of a prominent matchmaker, to find him a future life
partner. Beenish's request in return? That Arsalan help her ruin
her older sister's wedding with a spectacular dance she's been
forbidden to perform. Despite knowing as little about dancing as he
does about girls, Arsalan wades into Beenish's chaotic world to
discover friends and family he never expected. And though Arsalan's
old-school manners and Beenish's take-no-prisoners attitude clash
every minute, they find themselves getting closer and closer -
literally. All that's left to realize is that the thing they both
really want is each other, if only they can get into step. Praise
