![]() ![]() I can’t wait to display this beautiful sapphic book on my bookshelf! I’m shocked that this is a debut novel as the author has sensitively discussed some possibly triggering topics in such a smooth and sweet storyline. The Henna Wars has one of my favourite contemporary book covers ever, I honestly can’t stop looking at it, there’s so much beauty in all the details. Trigger warnings: homophobia, racism, bullying and a character being outed. Amidst sabotage and school stress, their lives get more tangled-but Nishat can’t quite get rid of her crush on Flávia, and realizes there might be more to her than she realized. But when a school competition invites students to create their own businesses, both Flávia and Nishat choose to do henna, even though Flávia is appropriating Nishat’s culture. ![]() And her life only gets harder once a childhood friend walks back into her life.įlávia is beautiful and charismatic and Nishat falls for her instantly. Nishat doesn’t want to hide who she is, but she also doesn’t want to lose her relationship with her family. When Nishat comes out to her parents, they say she can be anyone she wants-as long as she isn’t herself. ![]()
