Inqueerable  (English, Paperback, Mandawat Samridhhi)

From protecting me for body shaming and bullying to spending his school and college with me, we have grown leaps and bounds. Until, I kissed him during the Sangeet Night of his sister's wedding. Well, I always knew he crushed over many girls and Devangi loved him (maybe, to make me jealous, or whatever) and I faked my crush over Shradhha, so that people don't bully me yet again. But our conversation in the Library, the week after our college started, changed everything. I never knew he always knew that I loved him. Probably, I never wanted him to know before.
