"Two years ago, he would’ve been the shoulder she’d lean on. Now, he’d gladly step aside and watch her fall."

Kamila Morales is done trusting the wrong people. After a disastrous sophomore year and a failed situationship, she threw herself into therapy and self-defense classes, determined to make her junior year amazing. With her best friends by her side and a vow to stay single, she’s ready for a fresh start. But just when everything seems to be going right, her past crashes back into her life, bringing all the pain she thought she left behind.

Cameron Kahlo is finally at Driscoll University, focused on his goals—get his degree and avoid his ex-best friend/his ex’s twin sister at all costs. But fate clearly has other plans because not only is Kamila in the same place, but they’re also forced to work together. And avoiding someone is pretty damn hard when all the tension between you is unresolved as hell.

This book had everything—drama, spice, and a suspenseful past that had me dying to know what happened. The dual timeline added so much depth, and the little snippets from the past? Obsessed. I knew Ana was a snake from the start, and my hatred for her only grew with every chapter. The things she did? Infuriating. But Kamila standing up for herself in the end? So satisfying. Mental health comes first, and I loved how she chose herself.

Now, let’s talk about the spice—Cam and Kam? Whew. The tension, the angst, the heat—it was all so freaking good! And Kam’s friends? Loved them. The way they always had each other’s backs was everything.

If you love college romance with plenty of spice, drama, and a touch of mystery, you need to read this! And guess what? It’s release day today! Go grab your copy! 🎉
