The Henna Wars (Adiba Jaigirdar)

Yes, it's another queer YA! Who would have thunk it? This one is about two girls in Ireland, one Bangladeshi and one Brazilian-Irish, who create rival henna businesses. It's mainly about Nishat, our Bangladeshi heroine, who has to navigate coming out to her family, racicm and homophobia at school, and other relationships and friendships. It gets a little depressing (the low point is very low) and the "henna wars" are not really very central to the plot, but the ending is charming.
