Abigail Meyer and Freya Jonsson can’t stand one another.

But could their severe hatred be masking something else entirely?

From the moment they locked eyes in high school, Abby and Freya have been at each other’s throats. Fifteen years later, when Abby and Freya cross paths again, their old rivalry doesn’t take more than a few minutes to begin anew.

And now Naomi, Abby’s best friend, is falling for Freya’s producer and close pal, Will. Both women are thrilled to see their friends in a happy relationship - except they are now only a few degrees of separation from the person they claim to despise... and they can’t seem to avoid seeing one another.

After their encounters repeatedly devolve into warfare, Abby and Freya’s friends decide their age-old rivalry can only mean one thing: true love. Will their friends bring them together? Or will Freya’s refusal to admit who she is keep them from discovering their underlying passion?

Keep This Off The Record is a fun and fresh LGBTQ+ story about the freedom to be who you are, even if that means falling for the person you hate.
