Synopsis

From the author of My Sister’s Big Fat Indian Wedding comes a hilarious, smart, and swoon-worthy rom-com about two teens traveling to Dubai for Diwali

In this hate-to-love romance, Nikki, an aspiring photographer, accompanies her family on a trip to Dubai to celebrate the five days of Diwali in style. It should be the trip of a lifetime, if Yash, the boy next door—with whom Nikki has a rocky history—weren’t on board.

Caught up in the festive spirit, Nikki’s family encourages her to get reacquainted with Yash. Turns out, a lot can change on a twelve-hour flight besides just continents. But can betrayals and conflicting ambitions be set aside long enough for the two teens to discover the true meaning of the Festival of Lights?

Perfect for fans of Tokyo Ever After and The Upside of Falling, this exuberant novel captures all the joy of family celebrations along with the heady exhilaration of first love.

Goodreads review by Anniek

This was the perfect YA romance to read in one sitting. I absolutely loved the holiday vibes (the book is set during Diwali), but I especially LOVED the friendship between Nikki and Yash. They had a falling out prior to the book and haven't really spoken since, and it was amazing to see them grow cl......more
