Catherine Ramos just got her fresh start at college, and she's not about to let anyone diminish this opportunity. Especially not Jerard "Peter" Léon, the sharp-witted upperclassman that's just as quick to dish the insults as she is to throw them at him. She wages war, but he's still there. Especially when she needs someone the most. Even if neither of them like it.

Then Cat starts trading roasts with a stranger called PumpkinKing on an anonymous local chat app, and the funniest, smartest person she's never met slowly becomes the only one she feels she can actually talk to. He doesn't know her name. She doesn't know his face. Both a stranger and an enemy know her better than her own best friends.

Between a party that leaves a hole in her memory, a family she can't bear to disappoint, and a secret Peter has been carrying since August, Cat is about to find out how many of the same words hate and love share.

Kason

I’m what you call a god, a superstar, a winner.

I’m good at everything I do and

I know exactly how to get what I want.

Being a professional snowboarder is my purpose in life.

I’m only at Cranmore University to appease my parents.

But, if I want to graduate, I need to pass physics.

And, since failing is not an option,

Blackmailing a nerd who hates me is my last resort.

Shay

I’m what some call a geek, a nerd, a loser.

And I don’t care.

I know who I am.

I know where I come from.

And I know exactly where I’m going.

That’s why I’m at Cranmore University.

To get my degree and begin my life.

But that plan gets quickly derailed

Thanks to an unbecoming video

A blackmailing snowboarder

And his ex who’s hell bent on making my life miserable.

They say everyone comes into your life for a reason.

What happens when that person is the opposite of what you want

but exactly what you need?
