Couldn't put it down!\"\u003cbr\u003e\"I laughed, I teared up, I kicked my feet and giggled internally cause the banter was fantastic.\"\u003cbr\u003e\"This had me hooked from the first unhinged text message.\"\u003cbr\u003e***\u003cbr\u003eFate doesn’t send a warning text.\u003cbr\u003eWhat happens when the werewolf you can’t stand becomes the werewolf you can’t live without?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a neurosurgery student, I, Yvaine Mackenzie, have only one thing on my brain—well, the brain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn werewolf, but with a self-prescribed immunity to the whole fated-mate concept, I never speculated how I would meet my other half. My life is already packed to the brim with surgical precision: textbooks, hospital shifts, matcha dates with my roommates, and making sure my twin brother—aka, our college’s famous team captain—leaves the wereball field with all his limbs intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat’s right, wereball—the unnecessarily aggressive sport comparable to human football but with no refs, no penalties, and no protective gear. Or as I like to call it, uncivilized, primitive, and a waste of medical supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything fits perfectly into my color-coded agenda… until one night I innocently lend out my phone and receive the filthiest message from an anonymous rival player. Figures, as he’s the most arrogant, irritating, and ill-mannered person I’ve never met. And my REM-sleep has never been the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough somewhere between late-night texting and morning bickering, the shockingly perceptive mystery man I renamed “Rudolph” becomes my closest confidante.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut we can’t hide behind our screens forever. The more our friendship deepens, the closer we draw toward catastrophic secrets and one undeniable truth—how we accidentally texted destiny into existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen everything explodes…will I be able to forgive him?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf I’d known one silly text would tilt the axis of my life? I would’ve done some cardio. Strengthened my heart. Kept a defibrillator with me. All the time.\u003cbr\u003e***\u003cbr\u003eFans of Grey’s Anatomy, Love on the Brain \u0026amp; Mate by Ali Hazelwood, and the Striker by Ana Huang, will sink their teeth into this fun and steamy Romeo-and-Juliet-inspired debut, in which a brilliant medical student and a popular jock from rival packs find that when fate calls, sometimes, you just have to grin and bear it.\u003cbr\u003e****\u003cbr\u003eExpect:\u003cbr\u003eWerewolves in college\u003cbr\u003eHeated rivalry\u003cbr\u003eBrother's enemy\u003cbr\u003eHidden identity\u003cbr\u003eTexting\u003cbr\u003ePlenty of banter!\u003cbr\u003eFated mates - he knows first!\u003cbr\u003eEnemies to him-on-his-knees\u003cbr\u003eNerdy med student x rival team captain\u003cbr\u003e****\u003cbr\u003e\"If you want a story that has plenty of comedy to it but also touches on the serious notes I'm gonna recommend this one.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"As a twin I love the relationship between Yvaine and her brother. I love love how the side characters have their own story going on but it doesn’t overlap with the plot of the story I hope everyone finds genuine friends for the times you need someone to talk to or lean on.
