A very British, very Gen-Z rom-com between a snarky, competitive, conspiracy-theory obsessed e-girl and her academic rival, the suave football star who used to be her childhood best friend before he dumped her for the in-crowd. When they both sign up for a wilderness survival competition, they have to work together while also competing for the grand prize scholarship. Have things become too tangled or will they emerge from the wilderness as more than just rivals? 

This was a fun ride with a delightfully authentic mix of genuine kindness within blistering banter. Talia Hibbert nails it in this first book for Joy Revolution, Nicola and David Yoon's new BIPOC YA romance imprint!
