Can We Get Married?

by Nelly Page Magwaza

Born in a wealthy family, with overbearing parents, 25 year old Jessica Dube is a sight for sore eyes. She turns heads wherever she goes.
When she publicly throws her snot-snosed tantrum about the bad menu at Thandi's Food Truck, Smiso seizes the opportunity to be her knight in the shining armor. He takes her to McDonald’s and suffers first-hand embarrassment when he fails to make his orders through the kiosks. He ends up sitting across his crush at the table with a growling stomach and Happy Meal boxes.

Jessica is willing to do anything to blend in with the Mthethwa family and get their blessing. Meanwhile, Smiso has to buy his first suit and impress the Dubes.

Will their love stand all the tests?

WOW🤭🤍

Ate this up in less than 24 hours. I could not put it down, it kept me entertained, laughing, giggling and kicking my feet the whole time.
Not only was it the perfect balance between educational and entertaining, but it was also excellently written and paced.
Nelly Page Magwaza has once again reminded my why she is my favourite author of all time. You can tell that she poured her heart and soul into writing this. It was well researched and well executed. You deserve your flowers ma'am.
I could write a whole academic paper on the gender dynamics explored in this book. The way she approached masculinity and the complexities of the patriarchal system really had me stopping every now and again, to really think deeply about our society. If you are as interested as I am in the gender politics then you will certainly enjoy this.
This book really transcends the binary of a romcom. Hats off to you Nelly!
I also really appreciated how the couple navigated every trial and tribulation they faced. It was always them against the problem, and I think that is something we really lack in modern day romance. They always chose each other, and for me, that was absolutely beautiful.
Thank you Nelly, I cannot wait to read more from you❤️

Funny and romantic

This book is an unexpected comedy. Very funny and almost unvbelievable but enjoyable. Really had fun, very quirky and worth the read

This was so entertaining. When I tell you Smiso is dramatic man is he dramatic. And Aunt thandis boyfriend pulling an uno reverse card... diabolical 😂

The best book I read this year. Romantic, hilarious and beautifully written. I don't think there is a book more hilarious than this I've read before. I didn't want it to end.
