- Synopsis
- &“The bighearted, wildly charming, painfully real love story I&’ve been waiting for.&” —Becky Albertalli, New York Times bestselling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda &“Heartfelt and powerful.&” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) From William C. Morris Award Finalist S.K. Ali comes an unforgettable romance that is The Sun Is Also a Star meets Anna and the French Kiss, following two Muslim teens who meet during a spring break trip.A marvel: something you find amazing. Even ordinary-amazing. Like potatoes—because they make French fries happen. Like the perfect fries Adam and his mom used to make together. An oddity: whatever gives you pause. Like the fact that there are hateful people in the world. Like Zayneb&’s teacher, who won&’t stop reminding the class how &“bad&” Muslims are. But Zayneb, the only Muslim in class, isn&’t bad. She&’s angry. When she gets suspended for confronting her teacher, and he begins investigating her activist friends, Zayneb heads to her aunt&’s house in Doha, Qatar, for an early start to spring break. Fueled by the guilt of getting her friends in trouble, she resolves to try out a newer, &“nicer&” version of herself in a place where no one knows her. Then her path crosses with Adam&’s. Since he got diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in November, Adam&’s stopped going to classes, intent, instead, on perfecting the making of things. Intent on keeping the memory of his mom alive for his little sister. Adam&’s also intent on keeping his diagnosis a secret from his grieving father. Alone, Adam and Zayneb are playing roles for others, keeping their real thoughts locked away in their journals. Until a marvel and an oddity occurs… Marvel: Adam and Zayneb meeting. Oddity: Adam and Zayneb meeting.
