A Bad Boy's Untoward Hatred

Jude Finn wants only a peaceful life, yet secondary school shatters that wish the moment he arrives.

Thick-rimmed glasses and freckles mark an introverted bookworm and exceptional student who would rather disappear into books than into a crowd.

Sky Granger, the notorious bad boy and gang leader feared by students and teachers alike, never stops noticing him.

Dominant and intimidating, Sky rules the school and seems to hate Jude from the first moment he sees him.

Physical harassment and emotional abuse leave Jude unable to tell whether that hatred hides love or is nothing but hate.
