Mariana Perez or Mary as her friends call her, is a mexican mystery reader who doesn't expect to be pulled into a romance novel one random december morning when she accidentally picks up the same book as a very good looking guy, in her favourite corner bookstore. 

Seonghwa is an indian hopeless romantic who pursues maths because Dostoevsky advised him to pursue a career in science while continuing his literary pursuits and he isn't a slightest bit surprised when life lays out a well planned romance infront of him. 

Their discreet romance slowly travels from conversation over chai versus coffee to tacos versus samosas as they discover each other while discussing the struggles that come with being a person of colour and an immigrant in the United States. 

However one summer morning, their straight-out-of-novel love story starts leaning towards more of a tragedy when Mary finds out that Seonghwa allegedly sabotaged her research career. 

But can the same guy who reads Lord Byron and Ahmed Faraz for breakfast stab her in the back? Can the same guy who fought his Indian parents for bringing a Mexican girl home, ruin her most beloved and precious thing in this universe.All Rights Reserved
