Summary
About the author

In this sapphic dual POV romance by Adiba Jaigirdar, Meghna and Rani (ex-best-friends-turned-rivals) realize they're dating the same guy, so they team up to beat and expose him at a big science competition!

"Both narrators deliver exactly the kind of authentic, well-characterized performances needed for a story of hard-won self-realization."—AudioFile on Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating

Meghna Rahman is tired of constantly being compared to her infuriatingly perfect ex best friend now rival. Everyone, except, at least, her boyfriend Zak, seems to think that Rani Choudhury can do no wrong—even her own parents! It doesn’t help that Rani is always accepted into the Young Scientist Exhibition, while Meghna’s projects never make it. But this year, she finally has a chance at defeating Rani in something.

Rani Choudhury is tired of feeling like she doesn’t have much say in her life—not when it comes to how her mom wants her to look and act or how her parents encourage her to date incredibly charming close family friend Zak. She would much rather focus on her coding, especially once she places high enough at the Young Scientist Exhibition to go on to the European Young Scientist Exhibition

When Meghna and Rani figure out that Zak has been playing them both, they decide to do something no one would see coming: they team up. They’ll compete in the EYSE as partners, creating an app that exposes cheaters and a project that exposes Zak. But with years of silence and pressure between them, working together will prove difficult. Especially once each girl starts to realize that the feelings they had for the other may have been more than platonic...

Hey, no one ever said science was easy!

Reviews

“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

"The crackling dynamic between Rani and Meghna is the highlight of this book, but accompanied by funny friendships, feminist themes and a highly entertaining quest for revenge, RANI CHOUDHURY MUST DIE has something for everyone. Jaigirdar absolutely delivers on this delightful concept, all the while serving up astute social commentary—the best combination in YA contemporary." —Jesmeen Kaur Deo, author of TJ Powar Has Something to Prove

"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

The Dos and Donuts of Love:

"Filled with mouthwatering food and sensational puns, The Dos and Donuts of Love is the sweetest of love stories, and will have you rooting for Shireen both in the competition and in matters of the heart. Sure to be another favorite romance from Adiba Jaigirdar." ―Rachael Lippincott, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Five Feet Apart

"Start with a warmhearted romance, add in two cups of refreshing frankness, and blend it all together with a healthy scoop of reality TV chaos. Adiba Jaigirdar's mix of wit and sincerity hits every sweet spot, and the world class puns are just the icing on the donut." ―Becky Albertalli, award-winning author of Simon Vs. The Homosapiens Agenda

"Charming, smart, and as sweet as a six-pack of doughnuts!" ―Simon James Green, award-winning author of Gay Club

Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating:

“The representation we need with the romance we love - a pure delight!” ―Nisha Sharma, author of My So-Called Bollywood Life
