Bedfellows - Paperback

bedfellows, Nivita Chaliki's debut novel, is a coming-of-age story that explores love and what being with someone and loving them means, beyond convention and the constant fluidity of our identities.

This novel follows an Indian-American girl, Kash, throughout her teenage years into her early twenties and navigates the unknowns of love and attraction as they come and go. Wrought with teenaged angst, attraction, and the visceral confusion of not knowing who she is or what she wants, Kash learns what it is to share intimacy with the people in her life and discovers how that vulnerability affects her relationships with them. bedfellows explores the more metaphysical, philosophical side of love and intimacy as well as the relatable inner chaos of growing up.

bedfellows will resonate with new adult and coming-of-age readers who are interested in both the complexities of growing up and the fleeting intimacies we share with those around us.
