Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating
Adiba Jaigirdar

Delilah Green Doesn't Care
Ashley Herring Blake
@binarythis @jenslater_ Yes! I can absolutely help. I rate all of Alexandria Bellefleur's books (start with WRITTEN IN THE STARS). DELILAH GREEN DOESN'T CARE by Ashley Herring Blake is a good time, as is LOVE AND OTHER DISASTERS by Anita Kelly.
