ALT A photograph of my bookshelf of copies of THE LOVE MATCH. On top of the shelf, from left to right, are my Zara Funko pop, leaning against a mug full of markers and a rose-shaped pen. Next to that are the U.K. paperback with a unique cover, the newly released U.S. paperback, and the original U.S. hardcover. All three feature art by Bangladeshi diaspora artists of the main trio. The shelf itself has copies of each, with a candle tucked into one corner.

ALT Commissioned art of Harun, Zahra, and Nayim from THE LOVE MATCH, over a yellow background with a white border. Both boys are leaning to kiss Zahra’s head, while she smiles on surprise at the audience. Harun has a serious expression, thick black glasses, a deep blue button up shirt over black pants, and his hands folded behind his back. Zahra holds a teapot while Nayim holds a teacup. Both wear lighter blue aprons that say Chai Ho in yellow with a yellow teacup pouring out the Ho. Nayim has long hair and wears a plaid shirt under his apron with a hint of a smile on his lips.
