LAVASH AT FIRST SIGHT

Christine Mirzayan's dynamic narration is perfect for this rom-com about rival Armenian American families in the food industry who are competing for a Super Bowl commercial. Nazeli begrudgingly takes time off from her marketing job in tech to help her parents win the competition. While doing so, she meets confident and cute Vanya. One amazing date later, the women find out their parents have been sworn enemies for decades. Nazeli struggles to keep her romance a secret from her parents and her micromanaging tech boss satisfied. Between the lies and the feud, something is bound to blow. Mirzayan smoothly switches between accents. A frantic, loud voice during a tense conversation contrasts with flirty banter and a soft, adoring tone. The countdown of the remaining seconds in a competition creates excitement.
