New Yorker Molly Blum and Jude Stark have been lifelong adversaries, bonded by their families' close ties but divided by a war of pranks and misunderstandings. Once inseparable, a high school joke drove them apart, turning years of playful rivalry into silence. Now, tasked with organising a major party for their parents, their old feud ignites again, but beneath the teasing and tension, a reluctant friendship forms. As both confront their preconceived notions and past grievances, unexpected sparks fly, leading them on a journey from mastery in hating each other to discovering love on a completely new battlefield.

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. After years of one-upping each other's pranks (chocolate-dipped cat treats are not as delicious as they appear), one high school joke went too far, and they stopped speaking completely. But now that they're supposed to help plan a massive party for their parentsβ€”togetherβ€”there's no better time to resume their war.

And it is on. Only somewhere between all the sniping and harmless hijinks, a reluctant friendship develops, along with an unexpected spark of sexual tension. It might have to do with the fact that she's been dating Jude-lookalikes and he's been dating Molly doppelgangers. Or the fact that neither of them is nearly as horrible as they thought. 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.

Midwest Book Review calls it "an original, extraordinary, and simply fun read," likening it to the ideal Hallmark rom-com. Annabel Monaghan praises its lovable characters, intense tension, and heartfelt exploration of family dynamics. Library Journal recommends it for fans of Abby Jimenez and quirky romantic comedies. Ali Brady highlights the deep themes alongside the swoony romance, noting it captures the highs of New York City life. Overall, this rom-com blends humour, heart, and relatable characters in a delightful narrative.

About the Author

A born and bred New Yorker and lifelong daydreamer, Meredith Schorr fueled her passion for writing everything from restaurant reviews, original birthday cards, and even work-related emails into a career penning romantic comedies. When she's not writing books filled with grand gestures and hard-earned happily-ever-afters or working as a trademark paralegal, she's most often reading, running, or watching TV...for research, of course.
