What's that? It's the cover for my debut adult romance, I'LL HAVE WHAT HE'S HAVING!! Coming at you August 27, 2024. Which is like...five months away. Terrifying!!

When it comes to love, substitute teacher Farzan Alavi is a disaster. Newly heartbroken—again—he’s drowning his sorrows at Kansas City’s newest wine bar. Only instead of being crowded between strangers, he’s escorted to a VIP table for one. There, the hot sommelier does more than treat him to the meal of his life. The way he flirts with Farzan ignites instant sparks. There’s just one problem: David Curtis thinks Farzan is Frank Allen, Kansas City’s most influential food critic. The truth only comes out after the two spend an unforgettably hot night together. Good news—both think the mix-up is hilarious. Bad news—David is studying to become a master sommelier and has no interest in a relationship. Neither expects their paths to cross again . . . until Farzan inherits his family’s bistro. The two agree to a friends-sans-benefits exchange: David will share his industry knowledge, and Farzan will help David study. Only business turns to pleasure when neither can ignore the attraction still sizzling between them. But with David set on a cross-country move after his test, and Farzan committed to his family’s restaurant, how can their relationship last past the expiration date?

It's got...

–A fast burn romance –Elder millennials –Mistaken identity –A one night stand that leads to more –Food and wine –Friends with benefits to lovers –The best friend group around –Four chili peppers on the Adib Khorram Spice-o-meter (we're talking a lot of boning, people.)

You can even preorder it now if you like!!

But there’s no road map for being the first trans girl at an all-girls school.

“You can know things without them being said out loud. I knew Sohrab and I were going to be friends for life. Sometimes you can just tell that kind of thing.”

#bookquotes

Something about this quote made me think about how sometimes someone’s sexuality is used for a social or political movement – it is not longer about their identity but someone else’s agenda… its a sad reality that in todays climate something so intimate has become weaponised for a collective consciousness. Sometimes for good and sometimes for bad.

Yoooo it's the cover for my next book, THE BREAKUP LISTS! With illustration by Be Fernandez and design by Kaitlin Yang. Coming your way April 2, 2024. You can read an excerpt at PenguinTeen!

From the back jacket:

Love is more complicated than “boy meets boy” in bestselling author Adib Khorram’s sharply funny new romantic comedy, set in the sordid world of high school theater. The Breakup Lists is coming to shelves April 2!

As a techie–a stage manager, a lighting guy, a jack-of-all-theatrical-trades– Jackson Ghasnavi is not a fan of the spotlight. And he isn’t too fond of romance, either, ever since his actor ex-boyfriend decided he was too cool to date a techie freshman year.

Jackson’s sister Jasmine, on the other hand, loves love. It just doesn’t love her back. But luckily for her, Jackson is always waiting in wings when she gets her heart broken, ready to cheer her up with a breakup list cataloging of all her ex’s faults.

Enter Liam Coquyt: senior, swim captain, hot white boy—and the surprise lead in the fall musical. Even more surprising than how incredible Liam is on the stage is how much Jackson likes spending time with him off it.(Not that Jackson is falling for him. Liam is probably –no, definitely–straight.) So why is Jackson crushed when Jasmine sets her sights on him? And why does the idea of eventually drafting a breakup list for Liam feel impossible?

Young adult contemporary novel

When the only out gay member of a popular boy band has his sexts leaked by his ex-boyfriend, he has to grapple with being expected to play the perfect queer role model in the public eye while also navigating a budding romance with another musician

Explores the fetishization and policing of gay celebrities

Gay main character; Iranian American, gay love interest; M/M romance

#this is really different from khorram's darius books but i have to say i did quite like it!#quick and readable with a very realistic exploration of how gay celebrities especially young ones are treated #i do feel like 1) his bandmates could have gotten a bit more development #and 2) SPOILERS i was not as willing to forgive his ex…#but i think it did a good job of balancing the issues the main character faced with his own flaws #kiss and tell #adib khorram #lulu speaks #lulu reads #lulu reads kiss and tell #2023 reads #books

New Releases: April 2, 2024

Middle Grade Winnie Nash is Not Your Sunshine by Nicole Melleby Winnifred “Winnie” Nash is not a senior citizen, despite what anyone thinks of her name. And she is definitely not excited to live with her grandma in New Jersey for the summer. Not only are they basically strangers, but Winnie—who’s always known she’s gay—has been pushed into the metaphorical closet by her parents, who worry what…
