Everyone likes Humaira "Hani" Khan—she’s easy going and one of the most popular girls at school. But when she comes out to her friends as bisexual, they invalidate her identity, saying she can’t be bi if she’s only dated guys. Panicked, Hani blurts out that she’s in a relationship...with a girl her friends absolutely hate—Ishita "Ishu" Dey. Ishu is the complete opposite of Hani. She’s an academic overachiever who hopes that becoming head girl will set her on the right track for college. But Ishita agrees to help Hani, if Hani will help her become more popular so that she stands a chance of being elected head girl. Despite their mutually beneficial pact, they start developing real feelings for each other. But relationships are complicated, and some people will do anything to stop two Bengali girls from achieving happily ever after.

"i think it was a cute book but idk it felt like there was some extra plot that never was completed- 7.9/10"

"love this book with all my heart. I would explain in excruciating detail why but I'd be typing forever and accidentally spoil the whole thing. This is such a good read and especially for queer South Asian women and girls (more girls than women because this is a teenage romance) who haven't seen much or anything representing them. I love how there is a reality of how things actually happen/ can happen in the real world and that it wasn't an exaggeration or just a simple kiss kiss fall in love because it's a fiction book. 10/10 would read again.

"Loved this book!🥰 I learned so much about Muslim and Bangladeshi heritage. Plus, it was a very wholesome love story about dealing with toxic friendship, finding yourself, and navigating expectations. 10/10 "
