TJ Powar has something to prove

"When TJ Powar--a pretty, popular debater--and her cousin Simran become the subject of a meme, with TJ being the 'expectation' of dating an Indian girl and her Sikh cousin who does not remove her body hair being the 'reality,' TJ decides to take a stand. She ditches her razors, cancels her waxing appointments, and sets a debate resolution that she will go all in to defend: 'This House Believes That TJ Powar can be her hairy self, and still be beautiful.' Only, as she sets about proving her point, she starts to seriously doubt anyone could care about her just the way she is--even when the infuriating boy from a rival debate team seems determined to prove otherwise. As her carefully crafted sense of self begins to crumble, TJ realizes that winning this debate may cost her far more than the space between her eyebrows. And that the hardest judge to convince of her arguments might just be herself"--Jacket flap.

Sunny G's series of rash decisions

"Sunny G's brother left him one thing when he died: His notebook, which Sunny is determined to fill up with a series of rash decisions. Decision number one was a big one: He stopped wearing his turban, cut off his hair, and shaved his beard. He doesn't look like a Sikh anymore. He doesn't look like himself anymore. Even his cosplay doesn't look right without his beard. Sunny debuts his new look at prom, which he's stuck going to alone. He's skipping the big fandom party--the one where he'd normally be in full cosplay, up on stage playing bass with his band and his best friend, Ngozi--in favor of the Very Important Prom Experience. An experience that's starting to look like a bust. Enter Mindii Vang, a girl with a penchant for making rash decisions of her own, starting with stealing Sunny's notebook. When Sunny chases after her, prom turns into an all-night adventure--a night full of rash, wonderful, romantic, stupid, life-changing decisions"--From the publisher's web site.
