Looking for young adult fiction books with south Asian female protagonist
Looking to gift my SO a book this Christmas. Her favorite category is young adult fiction. Would love to gift her one with a female protagonist preferably South Asian.
Advika and the Hollywood Wives is a fun read, Indian American protagonist and explores life changes from age 20-30.

“A Deadly Education” is the first book in a trilogy about a half Indian magic wielder. I haven’t read it yet but it’s been on my bookshelf for a while and I’ve heard good things

South East Asian, but I recommend Hanna Alkaf’s books. The Weight of Our Sky or The Girl and the Ghost are the best, in my opinion.
