28 parts Complete Childhood best friends to enemies to lovers.
Alina wants nothing to do with the rebellious bad boy, Liam Somner.
Which is difficult, because he goes to her school. And lives on her street. And keeps showing up at her apartment, and sitting in her kitchen, smearing way too much cream cheese on his bagel and... refusing to wear a shirt.
Alina and Liam have history. Too much of it, and it's messy and painful, and should be buried deep and forgotten. But Liam feels like there's unfinished business between them.
Unfinished business, like finding the burial place of Liam's great grandfather. And saving Oscar, Alina's brother, from his depression. And that promise that Alina and Liam made at midnight, with legs dangling over the East River, to never leave the other behind.
Liam and Alina's past is a tangled web of life debts, family secrets, betrayals, and forgotten promises.
So even though she swears she hates him, when Alina realises Liam is awake late, she finds unexpected company in her enemy.
Two insomniacs, wide awake in the city that never sleeps.
