Is Yours Truly by Uzma Jalaluddin the book version of The Proposal—but BETTER? This week on Morally Gray Babes, Jen and Amber review this multi-faith holiday romcom that had us laughing, feeling, and genuinely surprised.

When an ambitious attorney and an influencer chef fake date their way into a cross-cultural family collision in rural Alaska, the result is warm, witty, and way deeper than your average holiday romance. We’re talking real family trauma, gorgeous character growth, meddling mothers with zero chill, and a gift exchange scene that absolutely wrecked us.

We break down the tropes (fake dating, slow burn, insta-love from him), the comparisons to The Proposal, why both families stole the show, and whether the spice level delivered. Spoiler: it’s a 0.5 but the story? A solid 4 out of 5.

If you love romances with cultural richness, family heart, and characters who actually grow—this episode is for you.

Morally Gray Babes turns ONE! 🎉 In this anniversary episode, Jen + Amber share how their book-bestie friendship turned into a weekly romance book podcast, the awkward book club moment that changed everything, and the “100-page rule” that helped them survive a book slump.

They also spill their favorite tropes (mafia, fated mates, obsessed MMCs, fake dating), their biggest deal-breakers (miscommunication, second chances, love triangles, cliffhangers), and their favorite reads they’ve covered so far — including the Mindf*ck series and Psycho Shifters.

Plus, Amber teases what’s next: merch, more content, and her new running/walking romance book community, Read, Run, Repeat Society.
