Can I Kiss You?

At twenty-two, freshman Caoimhe Briar already feels out of place at college. Then she stumbles onto a secret that puts her directly in the path of Larissa De Le Calzada—beautiful, feared, cruel, and desperate to keep her hidden desires buried. When Caoimhe watches Larissa bully an openly gay freshman and calls her out for being a hypocrite, a war begins between them. But beneath the insults, threats, and public hostility, Larissa finds herself unable to stop thinking about the one girl who sees straight through her. As rumors spread, friendships fracture, and family expectations tighten like a noose, Larissa must decide whether protecting her image is worth destroying everyone around her—including the girl she is starting to love.
