Grace can’t find a desperately needed roommate, so she takes a gamble and decides to host an exchange student. When the student turns out to be in college and just a few years older than her, not to mention extremely cute, Grace is flustered and withdraws. When an accident forces her to spend time with Lenka, she realizes just how much they have in common.
Lenka is so excited about her year in America. She’s going to love New York not only because she wants to work for the UN, but also because it’s where her girlfriend lives. She plans to practice her English with a large host family, so when she’s matched with a single woman living in Portland, she’s crushed. Only it turns out that she loves Portland, things with her girlfriend aren’t as they seem, and Grace’s house begins to feel like home.
Grace and Lenka never expected to fall in love. Is home really where the heart is if it means giving up your dreams?
