Rani Choudhury Must Die

YA contemporary romance

two ex-best-friends turned rivals due to family expectations and competing in science competitions realise they’re dating the same guy

when one gets into the european young scientist exhibition, they decide to team up and create a new project - an app to expose cheaters, planning to expose him in their final presentation

but the more time they spend together they remember why they were friends, and maybe start to get crushes on each other…

Bangladeshi-Irish diaspora experiences & messy teenagers

#Rani Choudhury Must Die #adiba jaigirdar #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #sapphic books #this is okay! unfortunately a few things annoyed me……. listen.#after 4 years of design school nothing makes me immediately uninterested in someone’s ideas more than Lets Design An App For It #I also read this RIGHT after going to my uni’s graduate exhibition where there’s always a few of those #but I spent most of the book being like holy shit the ethics????#making an app to detect cheating that goes through social media data & you put on people’s phones without consent…….#the ethical issues DO get discussed closer to the end - but like they pitched it to their teachers in the beginning #and I’d expect it to be brought up then haha. however I can’t say that it’s not realistic for teens to come up with something like that #Meghna was definitely a frustrating character at times - but also teenagers are like that. it’s fine.#I liked the slow mending of their friendship and the romance was sweet in the end (if very much just-in-the-end)#as well as the exploration of diaspora experiences and family expectations.#I did find their original science projects so much more interesting than the silly cheating app.#and hey it seems like they've finally managed to find some bangladeshi-irish audiobook narrators! i remember for her prev books they #had to choose one or the other #oh the other thing is that meghna is supposedly an artist but like. didn't feel like an artist? yknow? idk
