We Were Enemies Nikolai is 15 and arrives at the most expensive summer camp he has ever seen. It barely feels like a camp—it looks more like a private luxury resort, complete with huge cabins, fancy restaurants, pools, game rooms, sports fields, beautiful gardens, and a massive fountain. Nikolai comes from a powerful but complicated family. His papa, Alex, is wealthy, protective, and Jake’s best friend. Alex is married to Mike, a gentle and caring man who loves Nikolai. Nikolai also has two older brothers, Mitch and Katio, who constantly give him a hard time. On top of that, Nikolai knows about painful family secrets involving his biological parentage. But camp becomes even more complicated when Nikolai sees Cassian. Cassian is 17 and has been Nikolai’s enemy since Pre-K. They spent years arguing, teasing, and competing with each other. Except Nikolai has changed. He’s still sarcastic and stubborn, but he has been working on controlling his temper and becoming a kinder person. When he awkwardly tells Cassian that he’s trying to stop being so rude, Cassian bursts out laughing. For once, they don’t fight. As the summer continues, Nikolai and Cassian unexpectedly become closer. They tease each other, spend time together, and slowly discover that their old rivalry is hiding something neither expected. Nikolai secretly has feelings for Cassian. And Cassian secretly likes him too. With complicated families, old rivalries, embarrassing moments, and a summer filled with unexpected memories, Nikolai begins to realize that the boy he once called his enemy might actually become one of the most important people in his life. Because sometimes, the person you were supposed to hate becomes the person you understand the most.
