Bully After years of torment and humiliation, Tate is done running from the boy who made her high school life miserable—and she's ready to reclaim her power, even if it means playing with fire. When she returns for senior year with a new attitude and renewed confidence, she discovers that her former best friend-turned-nemesis isn't quite the one-dimensional villain she remembered, and their volatile dynamic starts shifting in dangerously intoxicating ways. What unfolds is a dark, intense journey where the line between revenge and redemption blurs, and two people who've hurt each other deeply begin to uncover what's really been driving their toxic connection. Fair warning: this is a steamy, rough-around-the-edges enemies-to-lovers story that doesn't shy away from the messiness of passion and healing.
Reading soundtrack
Dark, intense indie and alt-pop with raw energy and tension. Think smoldering chemistry, power plays, and dangerous attraction. Mix moody electronic undertones with gritty vocals—artists like The Neighbourhood, Banks, and Halsey. Sensual yet defiant. Passion simmering beneath hostility.
