Fashionably Late

What do you do when youre about to be fired you dont know what to say to your boyfriends marriage proposal and your very strict Arab family is expecting only success? You run away on a week-long sun-filled vacation in Cuba of course!. Aline Hallaby a nice obedient Arab girl has it all---a budding career at one of Montreals most prestigious accounting firms a loving family and a boyfriend of three years who has finally proposed. To top it all off shes about to fly to Cancún with her accounting classmates to celebrate passing the Uniform Final Examination. Theres just one tiny problem: Ali has failed the exam. She hasnt told a soul. Not her parents. Not her boyfriend. And definitely not her boss who will boot Ali out the door as soon as she finds out.. So rather than suffer through seven days in Cancún with her drunken-yet-successful classmates Ali grabs her best friends Sophie and Jasmin and flees to the farthest place her airfare cancellation insurance will carry her: the resort town of Varadero Beach Cuba. . . .. The sea sand and sun not to mention the attentions of a certain Cuban dive instructor soon have Ali feeling wonderfully careless and increasingly reckless. Caught up in a whirlwind of rum-soaked nights and moonlit Havana strolls this good Muslim girl gets her very first taste of what it would be like to be bad really bad. But will what happens in Cuba stay in Cuba? Or is Ali finally ready to break out of the good-girl mold and grow into the woman she was meant to be?
