An unforgettable romance following two Muslim teens who meet during a spring break trip. Zayneb's teacher, who won't stop reminding the class how "bad" Muslims are. Meet Zayneb, the only Muslim in class, she 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. Fuelled 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 mum 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 they meet.
