Book
More than just a pretty face / Syed M. Masood.
Danyal Jilani may not be the smartest guy in the room, but he is: 1. funny, 2. gorgeous, 3. going to make a great chef one day. His father doesn't approve of his career choice, but that hardly matters. What does matter is the opinion of Danyal's longtime crush, the perfect-in-all-ways Kaval, and her family, who think he's a solidly mediocre arranged marriage prospect. When Danyal gets selected for Renaissance Man, a school-wide academic championship, it's the perfect opportunity to show everyone he's smarter than they think. He recruits the totally-uninterested-in-him Bisma to help with the competition, but the more time Danyal spends with her...the more he learns from her...the more he cooks for her...the more he realizes happiness may be staring him right in his pretty face.-- Provided by publisher.
