Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating

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.

Wonderfully written

Adiba captures and paints a picture for many that don’t live in the skin of the immigrant parented, the brown skin person’s experience and the blind racism of Euro-Anglo human beings.

With defined details she shares and gives example to “bi-sexual erasure and bisexualities validity beyond how someone else understands.

There are many great layers and nuances written here and would be a great read
