Inhaltsangabe

In this debut contemporary YA romance by bestselling author Alisha Rai, a girl with undocumented family members goes viral after saving her crush’s life in disguise. A must read for fans of Sandhya Menon and Nicola Yoon. 

A Phenomenal Book Club Pick!

It’s a classic story: girl meets boy, girl falls for boy, boy finally notices girl when he sees her in a homemade costume. At least, that’s what Sonia Patil is hoping for when she plans to meet her crush at the local comic-con in cosplay.

But instead of winning her crush over, Sonia rescues him after he faints into a canal and, suddenly, everything changes. Since she was in disguise, no one knows who the masked do-gooder was . . .but everyone is trying to find out. Sonia can’t let that happen―her sister is undocumented, and the girls have been flying under the radar since their mother was deported back to Mumbai.

Sonia finds herself hiding from social media detectives and trying to connect with her crush and his family. But juggling crushes and a secret identity might just take superpowers. Can Sonia hide in plain sight forever?


  • A Viral Hero in Hiding: After Sonia Patil pulls her crush from a canal, she becomes an internet sensation. But if anyone discovers who she is, it could put her family in danger.
  • Secret Identity Romance: Sonia can’t reveal she was the one in the cosplay who rescued James—but that won’t stop her from trying to get to know her crush when she’s out of costume.
  • Heartfelt Immigration Story: With her sister undocumented and their mother recently deported, Sonia knows that flying under the radar isn’t just a preference—it’s a necessity for survival.
  • A Sweet YA Rom-Com: Perfect for fans of Nicola Yoon and Sandhya Menon, this book is packed with cosplay, comic-con shenanigans, and the swoony, complicated feelings of first love.
