Heated competition leads to even hotter romance in this YA summer rom-com for fans of Sandhya Menon, Emma Lord, and Wibbroka.<\/b>
\nSeventeen-year-old, high-achieving Kavya Joshi has always been told she's a little too ambitious, a little too mouthy, and overall just a little too much<\/i>. In one word: besharam.
\nSo, when her nemesis, Ian Jun, witnesses Kavya\u2019s very public breakup with her loser boyfriend on the last day of junior year, she decides to lay low and spend the summer doing what she loves best\u2013working part time playing princess roles for childrens\u2019 birthday parties. But her plan is shot when she\u2019s cast as Ariel instead of her beloved Belle, and learns that Ian will be her Prince Eric for the summer. [Cue the combative banter.]
\nExhausted by Kavya and Ian\u2019s years-long feud, their friends hatch a plan to end their rivalry by convincing them to participate in a series of challenges throughout the summer. Kavya is only too eager to finally be declared the winner. But as the competition heats up, so too does the romantic tension, until it escalates from a simmer to a full-on burn.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
