From 831 Stories, the highly anticipated next book in The Big Fan series by Alexandra Romanoff, an enemies-to-lovers romance in which tabloid fodder mixes with a long-brewing rivalry.
"I finally found my first five-star read of the year, and it was this novella." -Margo Ghertner, the Skimm
Cassidy is done moving through her life as the headline-making other woman. She's paid for what she did as a young campaign intern in spades.
After five years of working on anti-bullying initiatives in D.C., she returns to her hometown, Berkeley, to recalibrate-and she quickly falls into bed with her high-school nemesis Leon, the slacker to her try-hard. It's just a one-night thing. That is, until they both find themselves helping their mutual friend Willa open her new ceramics studio and Cassidy sees Leon in a new light. If everyone's misjudged her, is there a chance she's underestimated him, too?
