You x Me

by Ayla Vejdani (Author)

Perfect for fans of the TV shows, "Sex and the City," "L-Word, Generation Q," and "Harlem,"—YOU x ME follows a diverse and glamorous cast of women and nonbinary individuals as they meet, date, and fall in love with a little help from their friends.
The characters are all queer people of color (QBIPOC), including 13 protagonists across seven stories who are variously bilingual, bi-cultural, immigrant, Black, and Indigenous.
Crafted as a series of short stories/vignettes in various cities—perfect for our busy lives and short attention spans.

You x Me is a series of meet-cutes and modern entanglements: Noura swipes right on Luna with a little help from her group-chat, Maryam and Nilou fall for each other between shared playlists, while Paz and Ale reminisce about the sweat-soaked dancefloor of their youth. Set in cosmopolitan settings from Los Angeles to Montreal, each chapter can be read as an independent love story, though the book has a unifying thread of characters. This hot and hopeful QBIPOC contemporary romance offers escape, self-discovery, and a sparkling dose of glamor.
