You thought you had your college life all figured out: stay ahead in class, avoid distractions, and beat Albert, your insufferably charming academic rival, at every turn. But when a high-stakes group project forces you to partner with him-and an extension adds Kirsten, a flirty, unhelpful new teammate-the tension escalates.
Just as you are juggling her mounting frustration with Albert and Kirsten's antics, an even bigger surprise shakes your world. Jake, your childhood best friend and first love-the one who disappeared from your life years ago-reappears out of nowhere, working at the café you frequent.
Old feelings collide with new tensions as you find yourself torn between the ghosts of your past and the confusion of your present.
And now a project semester long project.
With emotions running high, unspoken rivalries, and sparks you can't ignore, you must navigate the messy, slow-burning chaos of figuring out what, and who, you truly want.
Academic rivalry. A love square. And just enough chaos to change everything.
