Zayneb, a Muslim American high-school senior, leaves early for spring break in Doha, Qatar, after writing a "threatening" note about her Islamophobic teacher. Adam, a Muslim Canadian college freshman, is returning to Doha to see his father and sister, with unfortunate news. Their connection: each has been keeping a journal based on an ancient book they'd both discovered. Ali has created an unforgettable couple in a deftly drawn setting in this welcome halal love story.
