Avery Quinn doesn't do high school romance. She doesn't have time for it between her straight-A streak, sarcastic comebacks, and avoiding the most infuriating person she knows: Liam Carter. The guy who's been her rival since the first grade, the guy who's way too good at everything, including making her blood boil with just one look. So when they're randomly assigned as partners for a semester project, she knows disaster is coming-and maybe some very questionable decisions, like pretending they're not secretly perfect for each other.
Enter Emery Jones, Avery's best friend and certified matchmaker, who's convinced that her two best frenemies are actually destined for each other. She's already got the ship name (Lavery, naturally) and a fanfic in the works. Now, it's just a matter of getting them to admit it.
From late-night study sessions to heart-pounding confrontations (and maybe, just maybe, a snowball fight that gets a little too heated), Avery and Liam's relationship might not be love at first sight-but with every snarky comment, every flirtatious jab, and every heart-stopping glance, they're getting a little closer to the thing neither of them wants to admit.
Will Avery finally admit she might be just a little in love with her annoying, perfect, too-good-looking-for-his-own-good rival? Or will she throw him into a compost pile first?
Get ready for a romcom full of sarcastic banter, fanfic-worthy moments, and the kind of slow-burn romance that will have you shipping Lavery before you can say, "Enemies to lovers, who?
