Why I’m excited!
I’m sorry but a story about a girl who has way too many crushes on boys, and that might be a false version of herself AND now she’s finally discovering herself and her queerness?? I will simply ascend to another plane of existence when this book comes out. (Also the author is literally such a swag person like-)

Not gonna lie, I HATED Kaikeyi while reading the Ramayan when I was younger, but I was always curious about who she was and what was her story. This book is going to be perfect for that!!
