The Henna Wars

"Impossible to put down." - Kirkus, starred review

Nishat doesn-t want to lose her family, but she also doesn-t want to hide who she is, and it only gets harder once a childhood friend walks back into her life. Fl-a is beautiful and charismatic, and Nishat falls for her instantly. But when a school competition invites students to create their own businesses, both Fl-a and Nishat decide to showcase their talent as henna artists. In a fight to prove who is the best, their lives become more tangled-but Nishat can-t quite get rid of her crush, especially since Fl-a seems to like her back.

As the competition heats up, Nishat has a decision to make: stay in the closet for her family, or put aside her differences with Fl-a and give their relationship a chance.
