"Weren't we supposed to just be friends? so why does he keep looking at me like that?" Eighteen. Plus-size. And officially over secondary school and family stress. Lailat "Lily" Adeyemi-Lawal doesn't do rule she just exists. Hiding from a past that, threatens to swallow her whole, she expects the summer lesson she never agreed to be signed up for to be tedious and boring. That is until she meets him. Tariq Hassani lives in a world without sound. Deaf due to an accident he's used to being overlooked, bullied, and pitied by most of the people around him. Now at the end of his terrible secondary school days, he wants nothing to do with the chaotic, loud girl who crashes into his life like a ram in Lagos traffic jam. But when a misunderstanding force's them together, Lily discovers the boy beneath the silence, while Tariq sees the girl behind the rebellion. As the humid Lagos summer heats up, so does the tension between them. But Lily past is a ticking time bomb for her present, and Tariq is protecting a heart he thinks is unworthy of love. In a city that never quiets down, can they find a language that belongs only to them?
