by Meredith SchorrTwo childhood rivals are forced to work together to plan their parents&’ anniversary party in &“this pitch-perfect enemies-to-lovers rom-com.&” (BookPage) New Yorker Molly Blum knows everything about her lifelong nemesis, Jude Stark. With their families so close, they should have been best friends. Instead, she thinks he&’s a too-charming slacker, and he thinks she&’s allergic to fun.

Only somewhere between all the sniping and harmless hijinks, a reluctant friendship develops, along with an unexpected spark of sexual tension.

All Molly and Jude know is that they&’ve mastered the art of hating each other. Falling in love, on the other hand, is a whole new battlefield.
