It`s an extremely turbulent time politically, but especially so for a sixteen-year-old Muslim girl who`s tired of being stereotyped. Shirin is never surprised by how horrible people can be.

But then she meets Ocean James. He`s the first person in forever who really seems to want to get to know her. It terrifies her -they seem to come from two irreconcilable worlds - and Shirin has had her guard up against the world for so long that she`s not sure she`ll ever be able to let it down.nnPerfect for fans of the Shatter Me series as well as Angie Thomas's The Hate U Give and Nicola Yoon's The Sun is Also A Star.
