Book Synopsis

Nishat and Flávia are rivals at school, but Nishat can''t help the secret crush burning in her heart - even though her parents disapprove of the fact she likes girls. Can she possibly find her happy ever after? A gorgeous, heart-warming, queer YA love story for fans of Becky Albertalli.

When Nishat comes out to her parents, they say she can be anyone she wants - as long as she isn''t herself. Because Muslim girls aren''t lesbians. Nishat doesn''t want to lose her family, but she also doesn''t want to hide who she is, which only gets harder once Flávia walks into her life.

Beautiful and charismatic, Flávia takes Nishat''s breath away. But as their lives become tangled, they''re caught up in a rivalry that gets in the way of any feelings they might have for each other.

Can Nishat find a way to be true to herself... and find love too?
