Synopsis
On the trip of a lifetime, Adam and Zayneb must find their way back to each other in this surprising and romantic sequel to the &“bighearted, wildly charming&” (Becky Albertalli, New York Times bestselling author) Love from A to Z that&’s a &“contemplative exploration of faith, love, and the human condition&” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).Adam and Zayneb. Perfectly matched. Painfully apart. Adam is in Doha, Qatar, making a map of the Hijra, a historic migration from Mecca to Medina, and worried about where his next paycheck will come from. Zayneb is in Chicago, where school and extracurricular stresses are piling on top of a terrible frenemy situation, making her miserable. Then a marvel occurs: Adam and Zayneb get the chance to spend Thanksgiving week on the Umrah, a pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina, in Saudi Arabia. Adam is thrilled; it&’s the reboot he needs and an opportunity to pray for a hijra in real life: to migrate to Zayneb in Chicago. Zayneb balks at the trip at first, having envisioned another kind of vacation, but then decides a spiritual reset is calling her name too. And they can&’t wait to see each other—surely, this is just what they both need. But the trip is nothing like what they expect, from the appearance of Adam&’s former love interest in their traveling group to the anxiety gripping Zayneb when she&’s supposed to be &“spiritual.&” As one wedge after another drives them apart while they make their way through rites in the holy city, Adam and Zayneb start to wonder: was their meeting just an oddity after all? Or can their love transcend everything else like the greatest marvels of the world?
