High school is hard enough without falling for your worst enemy.
A heartfelt and hilarious coming-of-age romcom for fans of HEARTSTOPPER, Casey McQuiston and Adam Silvera!
Jonah Collins and Dylan Ramírez hate each other. Jonah views Dylan as a spoiled, arrogant golden boy, whilst Dylan has Jonah labelled as an attention-seeking show-off who never shuts his mouth.
Their friends are convinced Jonah's and Dylan's mutual disdain is just thinly veiled lust - a rumour that surges like wildfire when the two wake up in one bed after homecoming.
Horrified, the pair agree to use the faux pas to their advantage: they decide to keep up the fake dating ruse, then end their 'relationship' in a massive staged fight, proving their incompatibility once and for all.
But the more time they spend together, the more they begin to question their true feelings. Could there be a fine line between love and hate after all?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Two bisexual high school seniors—and longtime rivals—commence a prolonged fake-dating scheme in Woody's raucous debut. For the teens' classmates, the public verbal sparring between charismatic Jonah Collins and introverted Dylan Ramírez is seen as something of a sporting event. Though Jonah thinks Dylan is a rich "Prissy Prince" and Dylan views Jonah as an egotistical jerk, their friends are convinced that their constant quarreling is just a way to unleash their repressed sexual tension. When a party at Dylan's house ends with Jonah passed out drunk in Dylan's bed, they're certain their friends won't believe that nothing happened between them. So the pair resolve to playact a romantic relationship, planning out public kisses and cuddle sessions that will culminate in a dissolution at winter break. Revelations about one another's personal lives, brought to light by their newfound intimacy, lead to insightful realizations surrounding the assumptions they've made about themselves and each other. The boys' banter sizzles and delights, but Woody's true power shows through in the intricately realized characters' tender depictions of support, kindness, and capacity for change. Jonah is white; Dylan is of Mexican and Afro-Latino Brazilian descent. Ages 14–up.
