Publisher's summary

In this debut contemporary YA romance by bestselling author Alisha Rai, a girl with undocumented family members goes viral after saving her crush’s life in disguise. A must listen for fans of Sandhya Menon and Nicola Yoon.

A Phenomenal Book Club Pick!

It’s a classic story: girl meets boy, girl falls for boy, boy finally notices girl when he sees her in a homemade costume. At least, that’s what Sonia Patil is hoping for when she plans to meet her crush at the local comic-con in cosplay.

But instead of winning her crush over, Sonia rescues him after he faints into a canal and, suddenly, everything changes. Since she was in disguise, no one knows who the masked do-gooder was...but everyone is trying to find out. Sonia can’t let that happen—her sister is undocumented, and the girls have been flying under the radar since their mother was deported back to Mumbai.

Sonia finds herself hiding from social media detectives and trying to connect with her crush and his family. But juggling crushes and a secret identity might just take superpowers. Can Sonia hide in plain sight forever?

This book was so good!

I love it! I’m genuinely surprised that there are no reviews yet! I found this book while taking a book quiz and instantly fell in love with the premise. I also found the authors TikTok page, so I’m definitely giving that a follow. Overall loved the main character and story. Sorry this is my first ever review so I don’t know if I did it right.

Great Story with “While you were sleeping vibes”

Relatable story line with a very likeable main character. I am an adult who likes YA books and often pre-reads to check out books for my young teen. The social media pitfalls, immigration worries and notes of lgbq+ weaved into the story all seemed very relevant to todays teens. A little swearing, a little drinking and a little kissing. would recommend for mature 12yo’s and up as well as adults.
