Freestyle

Freestyle opens the Academy of Stardom trilogy, a gritty reverse harem romance from Bea Paige. The narrator grew up on a rough London housing estate alongside four boys — Xeno, York, Zayn, and Dax — who were once her closest friends before all of them, in different ways, broke her at seventeen. She chose dance; they chose crime, and left.

Three years later, she's earned a scholarship to the prestigious Stardom Academy, ready to build a life on her own terms — until the same four boys turn up as fellow students, forcing her back into proximity with the people who hurt her most. What follows is a friends-to-enemies-to-something-else dynamic, playing out against the backdrop of an elite performing arts academy.

Freestyle is written for readers 17 and older, contains adult language and sexual content, and ends on a cliffhanger heading into the rest of the trilogy.
