Amira Sharpe is a girl with fingers practically stained with ink and a heart too big for the superficial world around her. She survives the crowded hallways of Westbridge High by burying herself in library stacks, her bag overflowing with good rom-coms and messy notebooks.
A hopeless romantic in the purest, most dangerous sense of the phrase, Amira believes love should mean something. She believes in yearning glances, accidental hand touches, the kind of confessions that leave your chest aching for days afterward. To her, romance is an art form- and most people are doing it wrong.
Especially boys like Kieran Seth.
See, Kieran is the absolute antithesis of a fairytale hero or the male lead in a beautiful romance. He doesn't do grand gestures, he doesn't have a brooding, poetic soul, and he certainly doesn't fit into any of her favorite fictional tropes. Quite the contrary, he makes fun of that 'mushy-feely stuff'. He doesn't believe in love, let alone see the point of it.
And worst of all, he acts like people who do believe in love are simply naïve- like Amira herself. Now, that is practically an insult to anyone with a heart.
In other words: he is the absolute opposite of everything Amira has ever wanted.
Which is exactly why he should have been irrelevant to her story.
But what happens when senior year comes along and Amira's counting down the days until she gets out of Westbridge High forever, only to be met with the biggest project of the year, and the only person in the world she'd stab twice in the chest tied to her for it?
