17 parts Ongoing Savannah Reyes has her future mapped out: valedictorian, Ivy League acceptance, and zero distractions. Jace Carter is her biggest distraction - the infuriating slacker who somehow matches her grades without lifting a finger. Their rivalry is legendary at West-bridge High, fueled by years of snarky debates, stolen spotlight moments, and mutual loathing.
But when their AP English teacher pairs them for a semester-long thesis on "The Psychology of Love in Literature," Savannah and Jace are forced into close quarters - and closer conversations. As they dissect romantic tropes and literary heartbreaks, they begin to see past the personas they've built. Savannah discovers Jace's chaotic home life and quiet resilience, while Jace uncovers the pressure behind Savannah's perfectionism.
What starts as a battle of wills turns into late-night study sessions, reluctant laughter, and a slow unraveling of everything they thought they knew - about each other and themselves. With prom approaching, college decisions looming, and emotions running high, Savannah and Jace must decide: is love just another literary cliché, or the one plot twist they never saw coming?
