I'll Believe in Anything
The annotated scripts for the first season of Heated Rivalry, from the show's creator.
A production book for a series adapted from Rachel Reid.
I’ll Believe in Anything is not the novel. It is the making-of book for the series adapted from Rachel Reid.
An editorial introduction to the book, its premise and the story surrounding it.
The series made the rivalry famous again. This book shows the scripts underneath it.
Retail copy from Waterstones calls the volume an official collection of annotated season-one scripts, with production notes, set and costume design, and material on how the intimacy scenes were planned. The series, based on Reid’s Game Changers novels, premiered on Crave and HBO in late 2025.
Adaptation as the subject
The published description says Tierney and Brady approached the adaptation with deference to the books, and that the annotations cover scene direction, costume, and choreography. Listed questions include how Ilya and Shane’s rivalry was interwoven with Scott and Kip’s story. Those are production questions, not plot revelations from the novels.
Who it is for
The book is aimed at viewers who want the paper version of a season they already watched, and at readers of Reid who want to see the translation. It is a companion, not a substitute for the novels or the episodes.
