"𝙒𝙚𝙡𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙉𝙖𝙞𝙟𝙖..."
.✧.✧.✧.✧.✧.✧.✧.✧.✧.✧.
From the freezing cold of New Hampshire to the bustling, sweat-inducing heat of Port Harcourt, Kyle Sterling's entire world just went up in flames.
After his parents' divorce and his mother's return to Nigeria, eighteen-year-old Kyle has no choice but to pack up his life and start all over again in a country he's never called home. He expects culture shock, loneliness, isolation, and chaos.
What he doesn't expect is 𝘩𝘦𝘳.
She's a walking contradiction. A brilliant nerd who talks a mile a minute, using her endless chatter to hide the insecurities she doesn't want anyone to see. She's dealing with more than she lets on.
Determined to make sure the new boy doesn't get completely swallowed by the chaos of Pitakwa, she appoints herself his personal tour guide. Soon, she teaches him how to navigate the traffic, survive the crowded markets, find his way through the busy streets, and maybe even adjust to life in the Garden City.
But somewhere between the laughter, the arguments, and two broken families, something begins to change. A connection sparks between the boy from the West and the girl from the Garden City.
It's just a platonic friendship. Or at least, that's the lie they keep telling themselves.
But one thing is certain...
They will never be the same again.
