I love Roopa Farooki's novels. True to form, this novel is based around a 2nd or 3rd generation British/Pakistani family. We follow the perspectives of three siblings, who were orphaned by the unexpected death of their mother around five years prior to the start of the novel.

Sweet, dependable big brother Asif tries to parent his autistic sister Yasmin, while holding down a boring city job. His adherence to his sister's need for routine means he has very little social life. Yasmin is finishing her A-Levels, and will soon be the subject of a documentary, in an attempt to give the general public a better understanding of her condition. The third sibling, Lila, is an unrepentant hot-mess. She flits between new boyfriends and new jobs, refusing to settle down, and resenting her younger sister for always taking her parents' attention.

It's a family novel, about sacrifice and love. It's a little darker than many of Farooki's other novels, as it deals with themes of depression and aspergers, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it.
