Grey''s Anatomy meets The Hating Game by way of Ali Hazelwood in this delicious enemies-to-lovers debut rom-com set in the world of a tight-knit group of OB-GYN residents - written by a practicing physician. First year of residency is hell, and Grace Rose, a brilliant new OB-GYN resident, starts off in the deepest circle. Her social anxiety is on high alert after she discovers she''s battling a rumour that she slept with the boss to get her coveted spot in the program. Um. False. Grace sets the record straight by putting on her devil-red lipstick and putting her rude - and frustratingly handsome - co-resident, Julian Santini, in his place. But rumours take on a life of their own, and no amount of studiousness, or support from her co-residents, can course-correct her reputation. Ironic, given Grace hasn''t been physical with anyone since her ex broke her heart in med school. Julian is exhausted from years of studying. Despite that, he''s determined to prove he deserves the residency position he narrowly landed. If only he could buckle down and concentrate. Instead, he''s preoccupied by the judgy girl grappling with an absurd rumour - a woman he unintentionally offended on day one. Yeah, he put his foot in his mouth. But he has no interest in participating in the hospital''s frat house culture that continues to slut-shame Grace. Stuck together as residents, Grace and Julian begrudgingly set aside their mutual hatred to focus on training, and as their attraction grows, the cracks in the thin ice between love and hate start to appear.
