Final cover to be revealed!
Lahore, Pakistan. Then.
Misbah is a dreamer and storyteller, newly married to Toufiq in an arranged match. After their young life is shaken by tragedy, they come to the United States and open the Cloud's Rest Inn Motel, hoping for a new start.
Juniper, California. Now.
Salahudin and Noor are more than best friends; they are family. Growing up as outcasts in the small desert town of Juniper, California, they understand each other the way no one else does. Until The Fight, which destroys their bond with the swift fury of a star exploding.
Now, Sal scrambles to run the family motel as his mother Misbah's health fails and his grieving father loses himself to alcoholism. Noor, meanwhile, walks a harrowing tightrope: working at her wrathful uncle's liquor store while hiding the fact that she's applying to college so she can escape him-and Juniper-forever.
When Sal's attempts to save the motel spiral out of control, he and Noor must ask themselves what friendship is worth-and what it takes to defeat the monsters in their pasts and the ones in their midst.
From one of today's most cherished and bestselling young adult authors comes a breathtaking novel of young love, old regrets, and forgiveness-one that's both tragic and poignant in its tender ferocity.

SABAA'S HEART ON THE PAGE: This is the book that Sabaa has always wanted to write. With elements pulled directly from her own history-like a family living in a motel in the Californian desert-this book is deeply personal and meaningful to her.
COMPELLING AND GUT-WRENCHING STORY: As expected for a book written by Sabaa, this story is absolutely tragic in the most compelling way, and while you'll find yourself tearing up for these characters, it's impossible to stop reading once you've begun.
HOPE ISN'T ALL LOST: Also on-brand for Sabaa is the glimpse of hope that she offers her readers, and the message that there's always something worth fighting for.
A BOOK ABOUT AMERICAN KIDS: Sabaa dives deep into a variety of struggles that teens experience daily, from racism and bullying, to abuse, to financial worries, and she does it all with amazing empathy and skill. This is about American kids that happen to be immigrant and first generation and brown.
MULTIGENERATIONAL HISTORIES: This book not only follows the lives of Noor and Salahudin, it also traces the past of Salahudin's mother Misbah, offering a new perspective on what it means to be American and to follow your dreams.
