Lila Reyes had her future mapped out: run her abuela's panadería in Miami, live with her best friend, stay with her boyfriend forever. Then everything collapsed at once. Her worried parents ship her off to Winchester, England, for three months with family friends. The gray skies and bland food feel like punishment until she meets Orion Maxwell, a teashop clerk with his own problems. He makes himself her unofficial guide to Winchester's music scene and the rolling countryside beyond. As Orion pulls Lila out of her depression, she discovers she's falling for both him and England itself. Now she faces an impossible choice: return to Miami and the life she always planned, or stay in Winchester and build something completely new.
