Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating
by
Everyone likes Humaira "Hani" Khan—she’s easy going and one of the most popular girls at school.

I read the surname "Dey" and I was like, "Ohhh..BENGALI girl!!!!"
Don't ask me how I knew it
Well.. I have a talent where I can tell which state the person belongs to... based on the surname(I am right most of the times *flips hair*)

BOTH the MCs are Bengali!!
Sooo..there will be Bengali food rt???!!!! *screams in happiness *

I was lucky enough to get to read an early draft of this book, which is an absolute delight.

It has both lots of fluff and some more complicated relationship dynamics (both platonic and romantic, family, friends, and love interest
