After witnessing two relationships from the closest people in her life fall apart, Clara is determined not to be the curse's next victim by avoiding the root cause: falling in love with cliché love interests. Even when one tiny mishap led her to partner up with Colton Reed - the college star baseball player - for ASL class, she wasn't going to let the curse get to her. But as Clara and Colton started spending more time together and she started getting to know him beyond his star athlete exterior, Clara realized that some things were easier said than done. And escaping the curse was going to be a lot more difficult than she thought it would be. ⋅⋅⋅ Cover photo from Pinterest, edited on Canva.

Adrienne Faye's life was a mess. A big mess. A 22 year old college student who was not only financially struggling, she was emotionally struggling too, a girl with no friends other than her novels and thoughts which unfortunately did not make for good company. She had so much to pay for, always had so much to do, helping her mother, her grandmother and herself all at once. She was drowning, sinking so damn low, and she wasn't sure if she wanted to swim back up anymore. That is until she's paired up with her antithesis, Karsen Krist, for an assignment that will cost them most of their grade in their final year of college. Unlike Adrienne, Karsen was rich, happy, the college's star football player who as she spends more time with realizes is not as horrible as she thought he'd be, and actually, is just as human as she is. Except that he is much too talkative, too flirty, too smart, too sweet and unfortunately, a little too... desirable. But when you've been in a box so long, it becomes your new home, whether it's comfortable or not. Will he be able to get her out of that box? Or will all their potential end up going in vain? *** #1 in books #1 in art #1 in reversegrumpyxsunshine #1 in collegeromance #1 in player #1 in forcedproximity #1 in flirty #1 in grumpygirl #1 in project #1 in opposites
