A cozy fantasy, coming-of-age story for fans of Sophie Kinsella and Rainbow Rowell.

Mona is no ordinary girl. She's the architect of Earth, a creator with immense power, and a fierce disdain for the flawed beings she helped bring to life—humans. When her twin sister, Penny, catches Mona in the act of devising a cataclysmic storm to eradicate humanity, she issues a challenge: live among them and experience their emotions firsthand and only then can Mona decide their fate.

Thrust into the vibrant Pacific Northwest, Mona must navigate a world where every moment is a test of her patience and a challenge to her preconceptions. With her sardonic wit and cutting humor, Mona begrudgingly interacts with the very creatures she despises. But as she experiences emotions for the first time, Mona's rigid views begin to waver.

Amidst the chaos of human life, Mona encounters Noah, a passionate and kind-hearted man whose dedication to his brother Oliver and their community is unwavering. As Mona and Noah's paths intertwine, an unexpected and deep romance blossoms. Noah's unwavering optimism and deep connection to nature challenge Mona's cynicism and ignite feelings she never thought possible.

Mona begins to see the beauty and resilience of humanity. Will her exploration of human emotions lead her to appreciate the complexity of life, or will it reinforce her resolve to wipe out humanity once and for all?
