NEVER HAVE I EVER meets BETTER THAN THE MOVIES in this paperback original romance full of academic rivalry, senior year shenanigans, and springtime magic.

Mira and Colin have been academic rivals for all four years of high school. So when they find out their GPAs are exactly tied, they refuse to share the valedictorian title, instead concocting an elaborate competition to determine the true head of the class.

As the whole school tunes into their increasingly desperate attempts to outdo each other, Mira and Colin realize that their rivalry might have been masking something else all along...
- Smart characters = great banter: Rivals-to-lovers hits harder when they’re both whip-smart and incredibly witty!
- The most wonderful time of year: Despite what you may have heard, it’s not Christmas. It’s the last few weeks of school, when the sun is out and anything is possible—even falling in love with the last person you expected.
- Opposites attract: Overachieving is just about the only thing Mira and Colin have in common... or so they think.
