An Education in Malice by S.T. Gibson

I do not like the writing style. I often don't mind a lot of telling over showing, but it has to at least be CONVINCING. Everything is just too surface level. The romance does not appeal to me at all. I was promised an "intense academic rivalry" but this is just two girlies with a crush. So what if they mildly annoy each other? The book focuses just as much, if not more, on their attraction to each other from their first meeting.

I got as far as the main character's reaction to her accidental sabotage, which she refuses to fix by just telling the truth, and I cannot read any more of her.
