The Rival is an irresistible enemies-to-lovers romcom from New York Times bestselling author of Tweet Cute, Emma Lord.

Sadie has finally bested her lifelong academic rival, Seb, by getting the coveted, only spot to her dream college. He's irritatingly charming, whip smart and happens to be her next door neighbour. She's ready to leave their rivalry behind when Seb is unexpectedly pulled off the college waitlist.

Now, Sadie has to compete with him all over again. This time, to get a spot on the college's famous zine. She'll have to deal with the mayhem of her loveably chaotic family, her own insecurities, as well as some less-than-resentful feelings for Seb that are popping up along the way.

Emma Lord is a digital media editor and writer living in New York City, where she spends whatever time she isn't writing either running or belting show tunes in community theater. She graduated from the University of Virginia with a major in psychology and a minor in how to tilt your computer screen so nobody will notice you updating your fan fiction from the back row. She was raised on glitter, a whole lot of love, and copious amounts of grilled cheese.
