Hello! I LOVE the Rahjes series. Thank you for writing such strong, female, brown characters. Do you know who the third book will be about and which Jane Austen novel it will be inspired by?

Hi Megan! I'm so thrilled that you love the Rajes. I love them too. (Enough that I preemptively fear for the day when I won't be writing them anymore). And yes, writing the many many ways in which women, especially brown women, display strength and resilience every day is one of my favorite things to do. As for the next book, I always envisioned this series as four books, each one paying homage to one of my four favorite Jane Austen novels. The next is, indeed, Yash's story, and it's inspired by Sense and Sensibility. Thanks so much for your question.
Love,
Sonali

Hi Sonali!! I’ve read all 3 books in the Bollywood trilogy and just finished A Change of Heart yesterday. Words can’t express how much I loved the emotion and how articulate the entire story was. I know it’s probably too early to ask, but are you working on any new books currently? And if so, would you still include Indian characters? Thanks x
