Introverted Ilhaam is a hopeless romantic waiting for her own love story, but somehow has come to believe that no man will ever truly love her because of one feature that she is very insecure about - being BROWN-SKINNED.
Will Ilhaam meet the man of her dreams? 
Will she overcome her unending insecurities?
Above all, will she learn to love herself?

-------

B.O.A.T is more than just a cliche romance. It is a story that revolves around a real social issue - COLORISM, which for years has tormented many people's lives, including mine.

I've tried my best to portray the struggles of a brown-skinned girl as it is, which sometimes might look too exaggerated and negative for some readers. Of course, I could've written about a girl who finds comfort and loves her skin tone right from chapter one (because who doesn't like to read about a confident heroine, right?), but I didn't want to sugar-coat anything. This is a story about heartbreak, fighting through your insecurities, falling down, picking yourself up, and learning to love yourself without the need of validation from a man.

Try reading it :) You'd love it ♥️

Clash Of Cultures by Malikadoc

#1 in the desi medical romance series Her lips were inches from mine and her sweet scent filled the air between us, intoxicating me. I slid my hand down her bare arm, reveling in the way her smooth, soft skin made mine tingle. We were alone in the hallway outside the ballroom and all I could think of was pushing her against the wall and crashing my lips on to hers. She had to have felt something, because she stood still in front of me, breathless, her eyes locked on to mine only to break away and wander down to my lips. =============== She was a young woman from a conservative culture trying to adjust to her new life in the West. He thought he had left that culture behind, being born and raised in the US. The tribulations of medical training bought them together. Their stubbornness and prejudice kept them apart. Join them as they travel on a journey of self-discovery and challenge themselves as much as they challenge each other. This is a medical drama and a romance story rolled in to one. It highlights the professional and personal issues an immigrant physician faces in the US, as she navigates her new work life, while finding love in the most unexpected of places. *Loosely inspired by real life events* **Patients mentioned in this story are purely fictional characters** ***This story contains some heavy themes like loss of life, mental health problems and drug abuse*** Highest ratings: #1 in desi (Sept 2022) #1 in medicalromance (June 2022, April 2024) #1 in immigration (Jan 2022) #1 in physician (Oct 2023) #2 in pediatric (Jan 2022) #6 in Muslim (Oct 2023) #6 in goodgirlbadboy (Dec 2021) #6 in culture (Jan 2023) #10 in doctor (March 2022) #12 in selfdiscovery (Jan 2022) #18 in medicine (March 2022)
