"I like you." I roll my eyes, even though I can't help but blush. "Don't be dumb." "You gotta stop doing that," he takes a step forward. I take two steps back. "Doing what?" Suddenly, I'm out of space. Taking advantage of our close proximity, he places his arms on either side of my face, backing me into the wall. He licks his lips; his crystal blue eyes bore into mine, trapping me under their spell.

The only thing on my mind was graduating, I never put his feelings into perspective. "Dominic, I'm sorry.

En su último año escolar Michi encuentra la oportunidad de entrar a la universidad de sus sueños. Para ello necesita destacar como la mejor estudiante en Jackson, una tarea fácil si omite la existencia de su arrogante (pero muy guapo) compañero de curso. Chase, Chase, Chase. El alumno ejemplar que todos los profesores quisieran tener. O, mejor dicho, el grano en el trasero de Michi y la razón por la que queda siempre es el segunda en la lista de notas. ¿Lo peor de todo? Él también quiere ganarse la misma beca universitaria que ella. ¿Será que la organizada y competitiva Michi conseguirá por fin saborearla la victoria o Chase se saldrá con la suya? Tal vez. Lo único claro es que las cosas no pintan nada bien para Michi, mucho menos cuando el chico se muda al departamento vecino. Borrador (2022) Todos los derechos reservados.

Calliope Emily Isobel Thompson è una newyorkese di poco più di trent'anni con due passioni sfrenate: Jane Austen e i Queen. Vive in un bilocale nel Lower East Side insieme al gatto Freddie, ha due amiche inseparabili, Alexa e Nina, un rapporto tormentato con la madre, un affetto smisurato per la sorella Daphne e un lavoro come commessa da Bloomingdale's che, però, odia. Al glamour e all'alta moda preferisce i libri e la lettura e, infatti, il suo sogno nel cassetto è aprire una libreria indipendente. Callie, tuttavia, ha anche un altro sogno: trovare il suo Mr Darcy, un gentiluomo perfetto e romantico che le faccia battere il cuore. E per trovarlo è disposta a tutto, persino mettersi in gioco con le app di dating. Ma è davvero possibile, oggi, fare match con Mr Darcy?
