book cover creds: @shootmejade on pinterest Tristian Liao and Natasha Best have never seen eye to eye since the 7th grade. Tristian was a ticking time bomb, along with her inability to control her temper. Natasha took her last name too seriously, and she always got a rise out of Tristian's anger. They competed against each other in everything, it was almost like an addiction. This continued up until the end of their senior year when they graduated. They parted ways and didn't speak to each other since. That was of course until the middle of Natasha's freshman year of college, when she stumbled upon a familiar face in her communications class. She was already aware of all the students who attended her evening lesson, but she couldn't believe her eyes. She couldn't believe that Tristian Liao sat in the last seat beside hers. Their constant head bumping and bickering sprung up again, to say the least, but so were old feelings that were never brought up to anyone's attention. When one's plans of revenge begin to set in motion, can they follow through without falling in love again? September 2023 -
