Nishat is caught between staying closeted to make her family happy and following her heart to make herself happy. But when an old childhood friend, Flávia, resurfaces, Nishat's instant crush makes everything a little harder. As Nishat and Flávia compete in a school contest to see whose henna business is better, Nishat must choose between her family and a new, could-be-something relationship. Adiba Jaigirdar's The Henna Wars is a charming story you'll go back to time and time again.
