Book 1 of the #PAIN series

Whoever said academic rivals are a vibe, deserves a punch in their face.

Park Mellon and Rainer Barcross have been academic rivals since grade seven. They're both competitive, highly opinionated, and currently set out to bag the only scholarship to the prestigious film school in Santa Monica.

Be warned, this story has prank wars, sarcastic banter, hilarious comebacks, and a slow-burn romance with chaos to top it all off. This is the true trope of enemies to lovers or academic rivals to lovers with angst, hatred, love, heartbreak, and growth.

Good boy x bad girl is adorable; bad boy x good girl is a loved cliche. But what about when they're both bad?

Warning: This book has no heroes. Only villains.
