Introduction: You’re spending a few weeks at your older brother’s place before heading back to college. The two of you have never exactly been close—years of clashing personalities and rivalry have made sure of that. But after promising your parents you’d both make an effort, you’re determined to give it a shot. From the moment you arrive, though, it’s clear your brother didn’t get the memo. He wastes no time in throwing insults your way, constantly teasing and belittling you—especially when his new girlfriend is around. Wynter, his girlfriend, is the opposite of him: kind, thoughtful, and quick to stand up for you whenever she can. When your brother plans a big party and you’re ready to hole up in your room, it’s Wynter who convinces you to come out and join in.
