Elara Parker is Yungblud's fiercely talented drummer, carrying a legacy she can't escape-she's related to Slipknot's legendary Joey Jordison, and every beat she plays is a reminder that she has to be enough. When Yungblud's friendship with Australian alt-pop band Chase Atlantic brings them into her world, Elara expects little more than noise, ego, and chaos.
What she doesn't expect is Clinton Cave-the enigmatic, sharp-tongued bassist whose accent is almost as dangerous as his smirk. Sparks fly instantly, but not the kind you'd hope for: Elara and Clinton clash at every turn, challenging each other in ways neither anticipated.
Fueled by rivalry, stubbornness, and the weight of expectations, their paths collide again and again, each encounter pushing Elara to question what she truly wants-and what she's willing to fight for. Hate Me Like You Mean It is an enemies-to-lovers story about music, ambition, and learning that sometimes the hardest battles bring the most unexpected rewards.
