Synopsis

Per her 537 rules, Harper Campbell keeps her life tidy―academically and socially. But the moment Sterling Lane transfers into her tiny boarding school, her twin brother gets swept up in Sterling’s pranks and schemes and nearly gets expelled. Harper knows it’s Sterling’s fault, and to protect her brother, she vows to take him down. As she exposes his endless school violations, he keeps striking back, framing her for his own infractions. Worst of all, he’s charmed the administration into thinking he’s harmless, and only Harper sees him for the troublemaker he absolutely is.

As she breaks rule after precious rule in her battle of wits against Sterling and tension between them hits a boiling point, she’s horrified to discover that perhaps the two of them aren’t so different. And maybe she doesn't entirely hate him after all. Teaming up with Sterling to save her brother might be the only way to keep from breaking the most important rule―protecting Cole.

About this title

About the Author

Ingrid Paulson does not, in fact, loathe anyone. Although the snarky sense of humor and verbal barbs in WHY I LOATHE STERLING LANE might suggest otherwise (and shock those who think they know her best). Ingrid lives in San Francisco with her husband and children and enjoys long-distance running, eavesdropping, and watching science documentaries. She has always loved books and writing short stories, but was surprised one day to discover the story she was working on wasn't so short any more. VALKYRIE RISING, a paranormal girl power story, was Ingrid's first novel. Visit her online at ingridepaulson.com/.

Review

5 stars: "With a delicious rascal of a boy and a loveable prickle of a heroine, these two create pure love-to-hate magic." -Jen Malone, author of Wanderlost
 
5 stars: "[M]ost of all I loved Harper and Sterling's chemistry--it projected off the page like it was in 3D. It was also a slow build, there is no instalove to be found here! Such an enjoyable read full of swoony moments and kick-ass banter. I am an Ingrid Paulson fan!!" -Erica Chapman, author of Teach Me to Forget
 
5 stars: "Harper is Paris Geller meets Veronica Mars, and the flirty tension with her nemesis, Sterling, has all the rich-kid sass and charm of both Logans. You're going to love this book." -Heidi R. Kling, author of Not Okay, Cupid
 
5 stars: "Why I Loathe Sterling Lane is a fun, sexy romp with the kind of romantic tension that kept me up way past my bedtime." -Julie Hammerle, author of The Sound of Us and Any Boy But You
 
5 stars: "I might even go as far as to claim that Harper and Sterling are my new favorite romance couple. The banter, the tension, their strong wills and wits. I had so much fun reading this book, switching between aggravation, swooning and cracking up so many times I never knew what to expect next." -Annika, Goodreads Reviewer
 
5 stars: "Gilmore Girls and 10 Things I Hate About You fans rejoice! This is the book you've been waiting for. With enough wit and sarcasm to fill the Atlantic, it's Paris Geller and Logan Huntzberger's love story--and after reading this book, I've decided that should have been a thing!" -Moriah Chavis, Goodreads Reviewer
 
5 stars: "[T]he main characters give off Ferris Bueller vibes by out-smarting adults with their craftiness and skirting of the rules, but those are some of the most enjoyable moments. A must-read for those who enjoy YA romance with comedy and swoon." -T. Rosado, Goodreads Reviewer

5 stars: "What I really love about books like this is that at the end the hero has a story that shows he has redemptive qualities. I love Sterling and I might be in the minority, but I found him endearing." -C.J. Butcher, author of The Doctor's in Love
