Lover Birds

With an irresistible enemies-to-lovers romance, and perfect for fans of Alice Oseman and Becky Albertalli, Lover Birds is a beautifully-written, inclusive and heart-pounding romance - a modern-day, Queer Pride and Prejudice . She''s still Darci, but she trusted me enough to let me mess up her pretty dress, so there''s got to be some hope for her. Some hope for us, maybe, to be friends. Not just friends by proximity, or friendly rivals. Real friends. Friends that get to laugh when the other falls down and know it won''t hurt their feelings. Friends that get to tease and call each other out and know there isn''t any real resentment bubbling behind the words. Friends who get to mess each other up a little and still receive big, beaming, heart-stopping smiles in response. It''s almost embarrassing how much I want that to be true. How quickly I can turn from complete loathing to whatever this is. When Darci Williams moves to Liverpool, she criticises seemingly everything in Eloise Byrne''s life - her city, her accent, her trademark boldness. So if, when she catches Darci staring, Eloise feels her pulse race, it must be because they hate each other. It surely couldn''t be for any other reason, could it? Eloise Byrne needs to get her ADHD under control in time for A-Levels, but when she meets the beautiful but snobbish Darci Williams, school becomes the least of her concerns. What begins as outright contempt turns into an oddly satisfactory rivalry, but for their rivalry to shift further into romance, their relationship must withstand Darci''s classism, Eloise''s distrust, and whatever secrets their friends are hiding from them.
