About this listen
How (Not) to Have an Arranged Marriage is written and read with poignant honesty by Dr Amir Khan, bestselling author of The Doctor Will See You Now. Heartwarming and hilarious, it follows the adventures of a young Muslim student doctor, torn between his traditional family and his whirlwind romance.
He’s the perfect catch (according to his mother). Yousef is the golden child to his strict Pakistani parents. As he finishes his medical degree in London, Yousef’s life appears to be mapped out for him: become a doctor, marry a suitable girl of his parents’ choosing and, above all, make his family proud. Then Yousef meets Jess.
A fellow medical student, Jess presents a complication to the plan. Suddenly, Yousef finds himself torn between two worlds – keeping each a secret from the other.
But, as graduation day looms, Yousef’s mother informs him that she’s started looking for his wife...
Dr Amir Khan is a resident doctor for ITV's Lorraine and Good Morning Britain. His debut fiction novel is a timely, heartfelt look at all aspects of modern arranged marriages.

Excellent!
Loves this book from start to finish! The story was gripping and I learned a lot from it. I expected this to be good but it was much better than I expected.

Loved this book!
So enjoyed this book - best one in along time. Great characters, engaging storyline, informative around a different culture, beautifully read … I could go on!
This was one of those stories that totally draws you in and the delivery of it really enhanced this. As such though, it was over too quickly and leaves you wanting more! One of those you could envisage transferring to TV or film …
Looking forward to Dr Khan’s next book now 👏👏

I absolutely lived this!
Is there really no end to Dr Khan's talents? This was such an engaging, interesting, informative and well written (and read) book! I was trying my hardest to prolong the ending I was enjoying it THAT much!

Took a while to get into it
Over-all I enjoyed the book. It took me awhile to invest in the characters and was nearly stopped listening in the first few chapters but I’m glad I stuck with it. It developed into an interesting story and also very interesting to learn more about different cultures and traditions. This n times Amir’s delivery felt like he was reading to children. But overall enjoyable.

Culture & Traditions
Loved listening to Dr Amir Khan read his novel. He makes it sound very authentic, probably certain characters are based on real life individuals. A funny story with lots of warmth & characters brought to life. Fascinating comparison between our cultures, highlighting our differences but also some similarities.
