Blurb:
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?
Why I'm Anticipating This Book . . .
I love a good F/F romance and this sounds really unique and enjoyable.
This does sound good. I can only imagine how hard it would be for a person in Nishat's situation. I am adding this to my own wish list. I hope you enjoy it when you read it!
