Rhiannon's best friend and business partner, Katrina King, gets her own story in Girl Gone Viral by Alisha Rai ($12), the second book in the Modern Love series. Katrina prefers life as a recluse, so when she finds herself at the centre of a viral tweet, she escapes to the country with the help of her bodyguard (and unrequited crush), Jasvinder Singh.
Just like in The Right Swipe, Girl Gone Viral features a delightfully diverse cast of characters. Katrina's family on her mother's side is Thai, while Jas is Punjabi-American. It's a slow-burn love story that's soft and sweet.
The third book in the series, First Comes Like, featuring Jia Ahmed, a Pakistani-American, was just released in February, and it's on my to-read list!
