AVA crafted her image meticulously: the perfect clothes, the cutting insults, the complete lack of empathy. If people think she's a heartless Baddie, they won't look close enough to see the real reason she's falling apart.
Her facade is flawless until a mandatory after-school program pairs her with ELI, the school's painfully optimistic student council president. Eli refuses to be intimidated. He doesn't try to save her or change her-he just shows up.
Suddenly, Ava is facing a choice: keep up the tough act and drive him away, or drop the walls she spent years building and risk getting hurt. But once you commit to being a villain, how do you ever become the hero of your own story?
A reputation is easy to earn. It's impossible to shake.
