A tutoring rivalry turns personal

Brooke Winters prefers quiet routines and academic plans; Madeline Hayes is the popular classmate she can’t stand. A chemistry tutoring assignment brings them together, and a school ski trip adds a shared room and a snowboard lesson to their uneasy arrangement. As their differences give way to greater understanding, the story develops an enemies-to-lovers romance between two girls who have each kept others at a distance. The school setting, academic partnership, and ski-trip backdrop give the relationship several points of contact as Brooke and Madeline reconsider their first impressions.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in sapphic romance between girls.
  • Readers who enjoy enemies-to-lovers stories built around a school setting and an academic partnership.

Book overview

She likes quiet. She likes her books. She doesn't like Madeline Hayes.

 

Brooke Winters likes things quiet. Her books, her routines, her carefully planned academic record. What she doesn't like is Madeline Hayes-arrogant, effortlessly popular, and convinced the rules don't apply to her. So when Brooke is assigned to tutor Madeline in chemistry, she's already counting down the seconds until it's over.

 

Then comes the school ski trip.

 

One tutoring arrangement neither of them wanted. One shared room. And one snowboard lesson that turns into something far more complicated than either of them expected.

 

Madeline has spent her life hiding behind a perfect image. Brooke has spent hers keeping everyone at arm's length. But somewhere between the silence, the sarcasm, and the snow, their walls start to crack. And the last person they ever thought they'd fall for might be the only one who truly sees them.

 

Heartfelt, slow-burn, and full of sharp banter and longing, First Echo is an enemies-to-lovers sapphic romance about the spark that starts when opposites collide-and the risk of letting someone in.
