keep your head up, sweetheart.

intro

hey guyss,

thank you so much for choosing to read this book, I hope you all enjoy!

This book is a classic enemies to lovers. It is not a slow burn whatsoever. This book contains the following tropes:

 enemies with benefits, brothers best friend, sunshine x grumpy and a little holiday romance ;)

Trigger warning:

smut (not too much, just enough), very mature language (cussing), rape, sexual assault, self harm, violence (physical fights with blood), toxicness

The relationship in this book is quite toxic. If you are in this type or relationship make sure you are comfortable with the standards your partner has. 

Imagine the characters how you want, I'll give small descriptions about their lives and a little about their looks (that comes back in the book) anyways, 

Meet the characters:

IVY

Ivy van Doren is a 17 year old high schooler who goes to Westfield Academy. Her father owns a big company which makes her quite wealthy. She has 2 brothers, one elder and one younger. Although she has money, she doesn't like to show it. She usually shows her happy and cheerful side, even if she is going through a rough time. It's all a facade. Her mother died when she was just seven, the loss was very hard on her and her family. With all of this happening she still manages to be a top student. Her hobbies are hanging out with her best friend, but what she enjoys doing most is dance. 

She has long silky light brunette hair, dark blue eyes but if you look close enough you can almost consider them green. Her eyes are big and round, almost like bambi's. She has beautiful body (everyone has different standards.) and is naturally tan (not extremely). 

EZRA

Ezra Matéo Hernandez is a 18 year old high schooler who goes to Westfield Academy, he plays soccer as the caption of the team. Both his parents work in the italian mafia. He is extremely rich, mostly because of his parents. They are never home tho, always in Italy. Ezra stays in his villa in Washington with his younger sister. He protects her at all costs. He is training daily to be like his father. He never shows his loving side, he usually is stone cold with the biggest temper. He likes to sleep around a lot, to relief his stress. Some may call him a manwhore, others see him as a king. 

Ezra has fluffy dark brunette hair, green moss eyes that remind you of a forest. He is built very strong and powerful. Nobody dares to touch him. His italian background gives him a tanned glow. 

LILLY

Lilly Anderson is a 18 year old high schooler who goes to Westfield Academy. She lives in a regular loving household. She has two loving parents, both of them doctors. She is not filthy rich, but she can definitely afford luxury items. Lilly is an only child, but she does have a dog named oreo. Both Lilly and Ivy adore him. Lilly is very emotional at times and tends to get angry very easily. She is a barely passing student, bus she manages to cheat of Ivy's paper. 

Lilly is a blond, she has medium length hair which falls under her shoulders. She has bright blue eyes, which looks like crystals. She has a stunning body and is a little pale. 

ZAC

Zac van Doren a 19 year old who recently started to attend College. He lives with his younger siblings and father, who is barely home. He does anything to protect his siblings from harm. Zac is going to follow the footsteps of his father. He doesn't want to, but to protect his sibling he doesn't have any other choice. In high school he was a star soccer player, he was the captain. His best friend Ezra, was second in line for captain. As soon as Zac left, Ezra took his place. Ezra was just as good, maybe even better. Zac would have loved to pursue soccer, but his father left him no choice. 

Zac has brunette hair combined with his mesmerizing blue eyes. His eyes remind you of the ocean. He was fit and went to the gym. He has a natural tan just like his siblings. 

ELI

He loves his sister and brother more than anything in the world. He wants to follow Zac's footsteps and be a soccer player. With this much talent, Eli has a lot ahead of him. He matured at a young age always trying to be and look older. He does this al to protect his sister, who suffers from depression and anxiety. Eli is very observant and likes to know what's going on. In his free time he reads the news and practises his soccer moves. 

Eli has fluffy brunette hair with matching light green eyes. He has a natural tan like his older siblings and he is quite fit for a 15 year old.
