About this ebook

Will They, Won't They is a swoony enemies-to-lovers romance that takes readers behind the scenes of Bollywood, where sparks fly between Ajit Jain, an aspiring documentarian from Queens, and Zain Mansoor, a Bollywood nepo baby from Mumbai.

This YA debut from award-winning author and actor Maulik Pancholy is a swoony enemies-to-lovers romance that takes readers behind the scenes of Bollywood, where two young men are caught between ambition and an inconvenient magnetic attraction.

Aspiring documentarian Ajit Jain knows what he wants: to get into film school and do it without compromising his integrity. What he does not want is Zain Mansoor—notorious teen bad boy, Bollywood heir apparent, and the most insufferable person Ajit has ever met.

When a wild and unexpected series of events leads to Ajit being offered a chance to direct a behind-the-scenes documentary about Zain’s debut film, he sees an opportunity. Not for a puff piece, but an exposé. The kind that gets the attention of prestigious colleges and takes down nepo babies.

But forced proximity on a Bollywood set has a way of ruining even the most disciplined intentions. Behind the persona, Ajit finds someone unexpected. Zain is more than he seems. A stolen kiss during a late-night motorcycle ride through Mumbai changes everything.

Now Ajit must choose between the documentary that could launch his career and the love story he never saw coming.
