Title: Coconut Unlimited
Description: Set in Harrow during the 1990s, "Coconut Unlimited" revolves around Amit, Anand, and Nishant, who find themselves stuck between perceptions. Seen as "try-hard 'darkies'" by their peers and considered wealthy by their community, the trio forms the hip-hop band "Coconut Unlimited" to break stereotypes. However, there's a slight problem – they can't rap. The novel humorously explores their journey, from struggling to find records and dealing with disapproving parents to facing the challenges of teenage life. Nikesh Shukla captures the essence of teenage dreams, the pursuit of coolness, and the quest for identity through the lens of a South Asian boy band in the '90s.
