Azra is sixteen, smart and knows how to get what she wants. She thinks. When she wins a place in a national science competition, she thinks her biggest problem is getting her parents' permission to go. But she doesn't know they're busy arranging her marriage to an older cousin she's never met. In Pakistan. In just three months' time... Azra always thought she'd finish high school with her friends and then go on to study science, but now her dreams of university are suddenly overshadowed. And it all becomes complicated when her uncle finds out about Pratik a young man from the local boys school who is quite keen on Azra. Can she find a way to do what she wants, while keeping her parents happy? Or does being a good daughter mean sacrificing her freedom?
