SLI NDHLOVU

Eighteen-year-old Lila Thuso has one rule: never back out of a dare. So when her best friend challenges her to kiss Graham Lee - the charming soccer star she's secretly loved for years - Lila agrees, even if it sounds impossible. But when a school trip to Cape Town throws them together, the dare suddenly starts to feel dangerously real. There's only one problem: Finn Hayes. Annoying. Arrogant. Way too attractive for his own good.
Finn has spent years getting under Lila's skin, but when he offers to help her win Graham over, the two strike a deal that quickly spirals out of control. Between late-night conversations, drunken karaoke, beach dates, and one very unexpected kiss, Lila starts to realise the boy she thought she wanted may not be the boy she can't stop thinking about. Now, with graduation looming and emotions getting messier by the second, Lila has to figure out whether first love is worth risking everything - including her heart.
