"𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐞..." "...𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐈 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐲𝐨𝐮." For as long as anyone could remember, Aspen Greenwood and Cara Jasper had been at odds with each other. Whether it was for a spelling bee or a spot on the varsity teams, or when it came to voting for who was "most likely to succeed" in senior superlatives, the only word they seemed to associate with each other was competition. Even when college rolls around and they expect to never have to deal with each other again, they find themselves clashing once more when they realize they've been assigned as roommates. Their number one goal is to get away from each other as soon as possible, until they realize just how well they seem to work together. ✔︎ academic rivals to lovers SLOWWWWburn ✔︎ girlxgirl college romance ✔︎ diverse cast ✔︎ dual pov status: ongoing - started: august 2023. awards & recognition: - #1 in lgbtpride - sept. 9, 2024 **NOT an intersex gxg book!
