Tradition, reinvention, and a campus romance

Maya’s decision to reshape her college experience takes form in plans for a Holi celebration, a Hindu festival the description associates with rebirth. Her co-planner, Nishant, proposes a music-festival approach, setting up a practical clash over how to bring tradition into a contemporary campus event. Their shared work also places romance alongside Maya’s effort to move on from an unlabeled relationship and reconsider what she wants. The story brings together cultural celebration, student life, and the negotiation between preserving a festival’s meaning and giving it a new form.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young adult romance readers interested in campus settings and relationship questions.
  • Readers interested in stories featuring Holi and the blending of cultural tradition with contemporary student life.

Book overview

Fans of When Dimple Met Rishi will love this charming, slow-burn YA romance about all the ways you can honor tradition while still giving it a modern flair.

When it comes to romance, Maya still believes in meet-cutes, but she's done with boys wasting her time. After her freshman romance refuses to put a label on their relationship, Maya decides to reclaim her life and completely turnaround her college experience. She's got big plans to throw the most spectacular Holi--a colorful Hindu festival symbolizing rebirth, which Maya feels she desperately needs.

Enter college heartthrob Nishant Rai, an upperclassman, notorious playboy, and well-connected DJ. After the student council makes him Maya's co-planner, she finds herself working closely with the one guy on campus she can't have and definitely doesn't want. He plans to turn the event into #HoliFest, a flashy EDM festival blending old traditions with the fresh new twist of a music festival. As the two grow closer, Maya realizes Nishant is so much more than a pretty face. Is he just wasting her time, or has she finally found her meet-cute?
