A driven Berkeley professor and a cautious graduate student make an unforgettable first impression for all the wrong reasons. Jay na Thalang dismisses Maria Lopez as a distraction, while Maria sees him as an arrogant jerk—but online, where they encounter each other under assumed identities, their conversations become increasingly intimate and flirtatious. As their combative real-world encounters collide with their growing digital connection, both must confront the assumptions, vulnerabilities, and prejudices standing between them. Told in alternating first-person perspectives, this sharp, emotionally layered enemies-to-lovers romance explores identity, ambition, feminism, and the surprising ways love can take root in the spaces between our public and private selves.
