Aru Shah goes to college - but thanks to a glitch, her new roommate is the quiet, brooding Aiden Acharya. Two total opposites vs one cramped dorm. Spoiler: They fall in love, obviously.

Ugh. Aru's mom was filling out a bio on "mydesimatch.com". ANOTHER dating website. When was she gonna stop? Oh yeah-- Aru's mom was the kind that was set on finding a good match for her wedding. You know, rich, high salary, good-looking, etc. What happens when she meets Aiden Acharya, the son of a mother thinking the same as hers? ...They DO NOT hit it off. At all. But that might change when they decide to fake date to be rid of the nosy aunties' prying eyes. Sparks fly, but will they eventually die out?

But she quickly finds herself pulled into an unexpected friend group, chaotic adventures, and feelings she never planned for. Aiden Acharya has always hated popularity.

Then Aru Shah walks into his life. Caught between high school drama, friendship, and the weight of their own fears, Aru and Aiden must figure out whether something real can survive in a world built on appearances. Can their story defy the usual high school tropes? Read my other stories:) *All characters belong to Roshani Chokshi from TPQ*
