Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating
by Adiba Jaigirdar
What is it about:
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.
What did I think of it:
We were in the mood for a fake dating story, but the one we had pre-ordered and released in September is still in backorder. So we decided to pick up this book instead.
And this is such a fun read.
I liked Ishu from the start. She's serious, an overachiever, and has family issues I could relate to. Hani is a sweet character as well, but it's clear why everyone likes her: she's a bit of a doormat. So when they started fake dating and Ishu points out how Hani's friends treat her I was hooked and totally rooting for the both of them.
There's lots of complications and obstacles the both of them have to conquer, and that's not even counting the obstacles they create themselves by not communicating at times. I was totally engrossed and had to keep reading to see how they would get their happy ending.
All in all this is a fun and enjoyable read, that I most definitely will put on me keeper shelves. I'll also investigate what else Jaigirdar has written.
Why should you read it:
It's a cool YA Fake Dating read.
