A sharp, dual-POV enemies-to-lovers romance set in the New York literary world, following debut novelist Parker Navarro and the influential critic Selina Chan whose scathing reviews tank his career not once but twice. After a private confrontation between them goes viral, the two are forced into an escalating public feud that gradually reveals how much they have in common beneath the animosity. Told through alternating perspectives, emails, and social-media snippets, it's as much a meditation on art, criticism, and integrity as it is a slow-burn romance.
