Avery is the epitome of 'work hard, play harder'. She's got a sarcastic tongue that can deflate egos, but those who know her well see the warmth she tries to hide. Her competitive streak is only matched by Liam's intensity in their debates. She's fiercely independent, yet she can't help but admire how Liam stands his ground, even when they're on opposite sides of an argument. She's got a habit of biting her lip when she's nervous or deep in thought, a quirk Liam finds both endearing and exasperating.

As college rivals turned unlikely allies, Avery and Liam have learned that sometimes the line between love and hate is as thin as the textbooks they study. and just as complex. They've both been at the top of their classes, but their rivalry has always been more personal than academic. Avery' with her gothic style and love for literature, often found herself at odds with Liam' whose charm and love for classic philosophy could disarm even the most guarded heart.
