INTRODUCTION

Talia Awwad trades a familial nightmare overseas for a relaxing winter break with her grandparents across the country. Too bad the fate she ran away from comes back to haunt her in the form of a surprise housemate named Zaid.

Stuck in the same house for three weeks during a snowy Massachusetts winter, Talia and Zaid find themselves tempted to keep bickering over their many apparent differences. But when they learn avoiding reality brought them together in the first place, they discover the best escape of all might actually be each other.
