Downloading This is a Bad Idea

Claire Daniels has her entire future planned down to the half-credit—until a paint-splattered art major crashes into her life and ruins her perfect GPA, her comfort zone, and her carefully guarded heart.

Rowan Sullivan lives for midnight canvases, reckless dares, and the next adrenaline rush that will drown out the chaos in her head. The last thing she expects is to fall for the campus golden girl who files color-coded to-do lists.

When a flag-football collision sparks an unlikely friendship, late-night tutoring sessions turn into stolen kisses, journal confessions, and a summer of firsts so intense it could remake them both...or break them beyond repair. But love is messy, and Claire’s family expectations, Rowan’s self-destructive spirals, and a secret that could cost Rowan her scholarship threaten to pull them apart just when they need each other most.

Told through alternating chapters and raw journal entries, This is a Bad Idea is an unapologetically steamy, heart-pounding new-adult romance about choosing vulnerability over perfection, art over fear, and the kind of first love that can either save you or burn you to the ground.

Perfect for readers of Casey McQuiston and Talia Hibbert who crave queer romance packed with angst, sharp banter, and all-the-feels heat.
