"Jasmine and Jake Rock the Boat" is Sonya Lalli's heartfelt swashbuckling romance about finding the power to be oneself. A holiday cruise with her family isn't exactly a situation Jasmine Randhawa had predicted for herself, but after a sudden breakup, perhaps a change is what she needs. When Jasmine realises she'll be spending the next 10 days on a boat with seniors, fighting against the "problem child" reputation imposed upon her, she doesn't think things can get worse. Then, she discovers the only person her age on the ship is arrogant childhood friend Jake Dhillon. Jasmine and Jake initially feel they couldn't be more different: he is worshiped by the Punjabi community, while she struggles with her reputation. But soon, it becomes clear that the two share more in common than they knew, including everything they cannot say to their families.
