The art of hating you

By h.h ferdiz and howard ferneynes

In a town where every whisper holds a secret and every smile hides a scar, Mara Santos inherits more than a rundown caf she receives a key to a past filled with unanswered questions. Monte Cristo, Vermont, is not the idyllic refuge promised by postcards. Amidst thick fog and cobblestone streets, its inhabitants protect uncomfortable truths with the ferocity of those who fear that light hurts more than darkness.

Mara, with her inherited tenacity and a dry sense of humor, collides with Leo Grant, a doctor marked by rumors and a heart as wounded as hers. Together, unwittingly, they unearth a web of lies that connects the living with the ghosts of a town that prefers to forget. How far will they go to protect what they love?

Between cups of burnt coffee, anonymous letters, and nights where the forest breathes with its own life, *The Art of Hating You* weaves a story of redemption, imperfect love, and secrets that defy the boundaries between the human and the incomprehensible. A journey where hating and forgiving are two sides of the same coin... and sometimes, falling on your edge is the only way to stay alive.
