When Marceline Freeze went to Juilliard to study violin, she didn’t expect it to lead to a Best New Artist Grammy. Now, after a whirlwind tour and early-onset fame fatigue, she’s looking forward to a normal Christmas in her snowy North Carolina hometown. But all bets are off the second she walks into My Place, the coffee shop that was her refuge growing up. It’s gotten an infuriating Scandi-chic makeover courtesy of its new owner: Lucas North, the rebellious firestarter she worshipped from afar as a teenager.
