When London girl Amber Taylor arrives in Sheffield for her first year of university, full of nerves and high hopes, the last thing she expects is to be met by her new flatmate: Alex Turner. Arrogant, self-centred, and annoyingly charming, he seems to take great pleasure in pushing her buttons from the very start. With a smirk always ready and a sarcastic remark never far behind, Alex makes it his personal mission to turn Amber's fresh start into a daily nightmare. What should have been an exciting new chapter quickly becomes a chaotic tug-of-war between two opposites forced to share the same space, and neither of them is willing to back down.
