Palindrome

It all started when she nearly ran over the new kid.

Aarohi Keshav is the girl destined for Harvard- just like every other South Asian kid she knows. To the rest of the world, she's an artist, the girl who carries pepper spray at all times, the infamous ex of the school's golden boy quarterback, and a sole atheist in her devout Hindu community.

But lately, something's been off, an impending sense of doom, a voice that screams in the back of her head. Unwanted thoughts, those she's never had threaten to rip her apart. She's been on her own, navigating these turbulent waters while putting up a brave front for the rest of the world.

That is until a gorgeous, green-eyed, rogue-haired Jew moves next door and changes everything.

When Paxton Enjelical moves in the middle of his junior year from his upscale neighborhood to the dusky suburbs of Texas, his only goal was of survival. Yet he can't help but be drawn to the fiery, raven-haired girl who's blackmailed into giving him rides after nearly running him over.

She wants nothing to do with him.

He's already got a nickname for her.

It's the traditional recipe of chaos for these two as they discover the cracks beneath one another's surface. There are a billion secrets they're concealing from one another, and one might be just enough to rewrite this cliche romance. After all, you didn't think this was just any other boy meets girl story now, did you?
