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 loved this so much! I was so excited for this after reading and loving The Henna Wars, and this definitely did not dissapoint! Adiba Jaigirdar is easily one of my new favourite Uthors and I cannot wait to see what she releases next ❤️

thoroughly enjoyed this book! both narrators were great, the narrator for ishu's parts took a bit to get used to but by the end her voice had grown on me, recommend giving this a listen!

An enjoyable listen

Contained a lot more of issues, with homophobia, Islamophobia and bad parents, than it did of romance really, but I quite enjoyed it.

Solid story with great performance

Adiba writes about bi characters in a way that makes us feel validated and vindicated. Her characters are complex and their sexualities manifest in diverse ways. I absolutely enjoyed the dynamic between the couple in this story. Performance of the book was fantastic.

Bi rep 10/10, lovely story
