Tell me exactly how you made it so I can judge you in my dreams.” I hear a warm, low laugh. Something about the sound melts the tension in my forehead and I ease further towards sleep. “In our so-called kitchen, there was only one tiny pot so I had to boil the eggs in batches..."

I (25F) made a deal with my ex’s hot wedding photographer (27M) to find each other dates this summer. Secretly, it was to help me find a date to a wedding where my ex is the best man as a big F U to him. But now my ex’s photographer is offering to be my fake date. WWYD? #DVpit #A #R #RomCom #CR #WOC

🧁 She's a jaded pastry chef

❤️‍🔥 When their rivalry reaches an all-time high & sweet lies turn to bitter truths, will they be able to achieve their desires w/o getting burned or will all they’ve worked for end up in flames?

XO, KITTY x CRAZY RICH ASIANS

This #YA #r stars a bratty fashionista who jets off to a romantic tea estate in Bangladesh for her big sister’s wedding to its heir, only to clash with the groom’s (annoyingly hot) younger brother.

Will be #p June 10th! Get this dreamy print with your copy! #questpit
Art by Thar Chandran The rolling hills and trees of a tea estate and the sky during sunset are in the background. In the foreground, Bibi and Sohel embrace, standing in grass dotted with pink flowers. His straw conical hat floats away as he holds Bibi’s face in one hand and a red umbrella over both of their heads in the other. Bibi wears a pale yellow, almost white sundress with a ruffled skirt blowing in the wind toward Sohel’s legs, a floppy sunhat that she holds with one henna painted, bangled hand, heels that match her dress and gold hanging earrings. She bites her lip, one eye shut, and smiles while Sohel cups her face, her dark brown hair fluttering around her. He has a gentle smile on his own face, his eyes closed. He wears a loose white shirt, dark pants and dark shoes, one foot slightly angled behind him. His outfit is based on that one Mr. Darcy look, iykyk. The artist was actually asked to evoke the feeling of 2005’s P&P with its absolutely gorgeous setting and sense of yearning, though Bibi is loosely inspired by Emma and the book is a beat for beat reimagining of neither. ALWAYS BE MY BIBI Preorder Campaign To participate, preorder the ALWAYS BE MY BIBI hardcover from Watchung Booksellers in Montclair, NJ before June 10th, 2025* *signed copies, art and bookmark only available while supplies last Hardcover will be signed/personalizec 2 sided bookmark featuring Bibi and Sohel by themselves on each side, but if you bring two together it becomes an image of him waiting for her on top of a hill while she watches from below beneath a tree, both clutching umbrellas Art print described in more detail in other picture
