The Rival by Emma Lord
3.0
funny hopeful medium-paced
Loveable characters: Yes


This was a cute life time academic rival between Sadie and Seb. Their parents are best friends and they grew up together and went to school and competed as top student. We see them starting college and again, competing.

At college, they are both competing for the same job on the school paper. We see them breaking down the animosity and rediscover their friendship while growing into themselves.

The story is cute and the characters is very on point with college students. The supporting characters were great and added a fun element to the story. 

Thank you @wednesdaybooks @netgalley for a copy of this.
