Why we recommend it

Set in a charged university world of secrets and rivalries, this dark romance pits sorrow against strangers who become dangerously familiar. Readers who love bully-tinged tension, morally grey love interests and slow-burning enemies-to-lovers heat will be drawn in. The tone is brooding and atmospheric, the emotions raw. A strong pick for fans who want their campus romance edged with cruelty, hidden pain and the kind of attraction that hurts before it heals.
