Tatum Monroe doesn't believe in roots. Raised in the chaos of Los Angeles, he's twenty-one, broke, and numb, building houses by day and breaking hearts by night. When his mom's old friend offers him a gig on a tropical island in the Caribbean, he says yes for the wrong reasons. Sun, sweat, and zero attachments? That's all he needs.
Then he meets Solène.
She's nineteen. Haitian. Kind-hearted, curious, and unafraid to call him out. She sees through the swagger, into the ache. But Solène has her own world, tight-knit family, deep tradition, a rhythm Tatum doesn't understand. And when their worlds collide, so do their walls.
From concrete foundations to coconuts falling in the heat, Concrete & Coconuts is a raw, slow-burning love story about culture, identity, and the messy, beautiful work of choosing to stay.
