Nikhil and Riya by Ira Trivedi by Ira Trivedi

Nikhil is a lonely geek in a boarding school. Riya is the daughter of the sports master, a star athlete and less-than-brilliant at academics. When Nikhil is asked to coach Riya in mathematics, a special sort of friendship blossoms between them - one that involves endless conversations, bouts of rule-breaking and a whole lot of love. But the big bullies in the school are not exactly fans of Nikhil's special connection with Riya, and Riya herself hides a tragic secret behind her blase exterior. For anyone who has ever loved The Fault In Our Stars by John Greene or Love Story by Erich Segal, here is a high-school romance that explores the slow journey of healing, moving on, learning to die and deciding to live.
