Goodreads Summary
"Can two IRL enemies find their happily ever after online?
Stella Greene and Wesley Clarke are Gene Connolly Memorial High School's biggest rivals. While the two have been battling it out for top student, it's a race to the bottom when it comes to snide comments and pulling the dirtiest prank. For years, Stella and Wes have been the villain in each other's story, and now it's all-out war.
And there is no bigger battle than the one for valedictorian, and more specifically, the coveted valedictorian scholarship.
But Stella and Wes have more in common than they think. Both are huge fans of Warship Seven, a popular sci-fi TV drama with a dedicated online following, and the two start chatting under aliases--without a clue that their rival is just beyond the screen. They realize that they're both attending SciCon this year, so they plan to dress in their best cosplay and finally meet IRL.
While tensions at school are rising and SciCon inches closer and closer, the enemy lines between Stella and Wes blur when a class project shows them they might understand one another better than anyone else--and not just in cosplay."
Why: Can I get a hell yeah for enemies to lovers? This book has some vibes of Bookish and the Beast by Ashley Poston, which I loved. This also has the vibes of Eliza and Her Monsters which I loved. I can't wait to meet Stella and Wesley.
This sounds great for you! I love when a book has similar vibes to some favorites.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
DeleteWhat a great premise! There's just something about stories involving characters who normally don't like each other coming together via aliases and then finding out who it is they've fallen for. I hope you love this one!
