But then she meets Ocean James. He's thefirst person in forever who really seems to want to get to know her. Itterrifies her -they seem to come from two irreconcilable worlds - andShirin has had her guard up against the world for so long that she's notsure she'll ever be able to let it down.Perfect for fans of the Shatter Me series as well as Angie Thomas's TheHate U Give and Nicola Yoon's The Sun is Also A Star.. - Passer for 12-16 år
