She would much rather focus on her coding, especially once she's chosen to compete in the European Young Scientist Exhibition (EYSE).

When Meghna and Rani figure out that Zak has been playing them both, they decide to do something no one would see coming: they team up. Theyll compete in the EYSE as partners, creating an app that exposes cheaters and a project that exposes Zak. But with years of silence and pressure between them, working together will prove difficult. Especially once they start to go from rivals to friends and realize their feelings may be even more than platonic...

This is a book of fiction, but it deals with real issues including instances of colorism, sexism, cheating and cheating partners.
