Ariyah Faruq had a simple, joyful life in Nigeria-family always close, streets buzzing with life, and food full of flavor. But when she moves to England to stay with her aunt for a better future, she quickly realizes that "better" doesn't always mean "easier."

Between struggling with the cold, missing jollof rice, and dealing with people who think Africa is one big village, Ariyah must navigate a new world full of culture shocks, hilarious misunderstandings, and, unfortunately, racism. But she's not one to stay silent. With her quick wit, outspoken nature, and a little bit of sarcasm, she takes on the challenges of being a Black Muslim girl in a foreign land.

With new friends, unexpected foes, and a whole lot of life lessons, Ariyah's journey is one of self-discovery, resilience, and humor. Because no matter where life takes her, she's bringing her Nigerian energy with her.All Rights Reserved

Between Two Worlds : A Journey of the Heart (Friendship #1) by AJKoyawrites

Anaya thought moving from India to Dubai for college would give her a fresh start. Instead, she's still invisible - the quiet girl with sharp wit, hidden curves, and no one noticing her in a city full of noise. But when an unexpected twist forces her into the path of the campus golden crowd, she catches the eye of someone she never imagined would look her way. Now, she's caught between the safety of silence and the chaos of being seen. And the scariest part? She's not sure which world she belongs to anymore

Text Buddies by lauramaura26

What will you do when the one person you think detests you is the only one who truly gets you? ... A potential friendship crumbles before it can even begin. He has to stay focused, bound by his father's expectations. She feels foolish for ever believing he truly wanted anything with her. Silence becomes their only language. Then an anonymous app changes everything. Behind hidden usernames, they share secrets, laughter, and late-night confessions-never knowing they've been pouring their hearts out to each other all along.

Hate Me Gently by Queenchimtae

"You talk too much for my liking". "And yet, here you are, listening". . They were once everything to each other- until time, distance, and silence turned them into strangers. Now, they're nothing alike. Two strangers with distaste towards each other. One is fire. The other, ice. But the sparks between them? Unmistakable and Unavoidable. They clash. They burn. And yet, something keeps pulling them back, something buried beneath forgotten memories and words never said. It was supposed to be hate. But hate was never meant to feel like this. They were never supposed to meet. Never supposed to care. But the past has a way of finding its way home - even when it's been forgotten. What happens when two people who were once everything to each other... become strangers again? Started- 10th July, 2025 Ended- 21st December, 2025 ✨ Most impressive ranking ✨

Come Home, K by TheLostAndFoundPile

Kulthum is going through something. It could be a hormonal shift, another round of her "rebellious teen phase" even though she's now twenty-two, or an identity crisis. Whatever it is, Kulthum has changed. She can feel it, and everyone can see it, but no one can cite a reason for it-including her. When Kulthum comes home from her third unattained university degree, lugging more than suitcases, her parents have had enough. They decide to do what every African parent living in the United Kingdom has once threatened to do. They ship her back home to Nigeria. With a one-way first-class ticket, Kulthum finds herself stranded in the busy city of Lagos, stuck with a family she knows nothing about and surrounded by her culture, which feels completely foreign to her. Her parents hope her year abroad will cause her to have a change of heart...but Kulthum meets a man who might steal it. - - - - First Published September 28th 2024.
