Description

A Professor Who Hates Fun. A Comedy Writer Who Can't Behave. And a Contract That's About to Explode.

Dr. Clara Voss—ruthless German literature professor, human footnote, and professional fun-sucker—has spent her career dissecting humor like a specimen under glass. Lily Chen—chaotic American comedy writer, professional troublemaker, and self-proclaimed "soul of the party"—has just one rule: Never take life (or Germans) too seriously.

When Lily's viral blog post mocking Clara's teaching style lands her in hot water, Clara strikes back with the ultimate punishment: a contract forcing Lily to "observe" her lectures—without jokes, interruptions, or "American informality." But Lily's never been good at following rules, and Clara's never been good at hiding how much it bothers her when Lily breaks them.

Soon, their academic rivalry spirals into a battle of wits, live-tweets, and accidental viral fame—while a smug ex, a meddling mom, and a university full of gossips watch the chaos unfold. But when Lily uncovers the reason behind Clara's icy exterior, and Clara realizes Lily's jokes might be hiding something deeper, their war of words turns into something neither of them expected…

A laugh-out-loud age-gap enemies-to-lovers rom-com with:

✔ A grumpy professor who quotes Schopenhauer to shut people down

✔ A sunshine chaos gremlin who live-tweets her own humiliation

✔ A contract so ridiculous it has to be broken

✔ A slow-burn rivalry that ignites into way more than hate

✔ A relation that's very illegal in some states (but don't worry, they're in Germany)
