When Meghna fails to make it to the final round of a competition but her boyfriend Zak and her rival Rani do, she thinks things can't get much worse. Until she discovers Zak has been cheating on her. With Rani.
Soon she realises Rani is also a victim and they team up to expose Zak as a cheater in front of all the judges he is so eager to please. And as the two girls grow closer, they begin to question their feelings for one another and why they ever became enemies in the first place . . .
Rivals team up to get revenge on the boy who wronged them both in this new sapphic YA enemies-to-lovers novel by award-winning author Adiba Jaigirdar.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
RANI CHOUDHURY MUST DIE is a heartfelt love letter to girls in STEM, complete with the ultimate rivals-to-lovers romance. Clever, honest, and engaging-Jaigirdar's latest is not to be missed. * Jennifer Dugan, author of The Last Girls Standing * Jaigirdar takes the revenge scheme plot from the iconic 2000s movie and adds a fresh sapphic twist. The sleuthing and hijinks are delicious to read, but what ultimately anchors the story is the sweet second-chance romance for two childhood friends. I couldn't wait for Meghna and Rani to get their happily-ever-after. * Kelly Quindlen, best-selling author of She Drives Me Crazy * If you're still fantasizing about exacting revenge on that one cheating ex who broke your heart, RANI CHOUDHURY MUST DIE will read like therapy. Adiba Jaigirdar's characters are refreshing, rich, and full of heart in what will surely be one of my top romance recommendations of the year. * Robbie Couch, New York Times bestselling author of If I See You Again Tomorrow * Rani Choudhury Must Die would make a lovely gift to send your cheating ex a message. While you're at it, get another copy for your rival (read: crush) to gauge how on board they are with teaming up (read: falling in love). * Sonora Reyes, best-selling and award-winning author of The Lesbiana's Guide to Catholic School * Romance and revenge go hand in hand in yet another witty, charming, and deeply earnest rom-com from Adiba Jaigirdar. I fell in love within the very first few pages and flew through the rest of them. An absolute delight. * Ann Liang, New York Times Bestselling author of I Hope This Doesn't Find You * A sapphic, science-y spin on scorned lovers' revenge, RANI CHOUDHURY MUST DIE is perfect for anyone who has ever hoped a love triangle would end with the girls ditching the guy and dating each other instead. * Racquel Marie, award-winning author of Ophelia After All * Adiba Jaigirdar, a previous winner of the YA book prize, returned with the smart, Sapphic romance Rani Choudhury Must Die (Hodder), which sees two bitter rivals team up when they are wronged by the same boy. * The Observer * [an] insightful romcom * The Guardian * Praise for The Henna Wars: The scenes between Flavia and Nishat simmer, and their mesmerizing relationship unfolds with just the right amount of complexity. Most satisfyingly, each character gets the ending she deserves. Impossible to put down. * Kirkus * Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating is funny and warm, cleverly balancing skilled storytelling and romantic themes with an exploration of issues such as race and otherness, queer-ness and sexuality * Bookseller *
