Y/N has exactly two friends, a permanent attitude problem, enough self-done tattoos to tell a hundred stories, and absolutely no interest in adding anyone else to her carefully limited circle. Then one party introduces her to Kieran Vale—the tattooed, irritatingly charming bad boy she’s already decided she hates. Unfortunately, he thinks her hatred is fucking hilarious. One party turns into an after-party at the girls’ apartment, and somehow two separate friend groups become one overnight. Suddenly Kieran is everywhere—on her couch, stealing her lighter, smoking her weed, making inappropriate jokes, and calling her Sunshine just to watch her threaten his life. She insists he’s unbearable. He considers annoying her a hobby. But somewhere between smoke-filled nights, drunken parties, concerts, tattoos, 2 a.m. conversations, and insults that start sounding suspiciously affectionate, something changes. Y/N knows how to survive people leaving. What she doesn’t know is what the hell she’s supposed to do when someone keeps choosing to stay.
