The plot itself was a great idea, Tate just pissed me off and I couldn’t stand her “best friend” either

I enjoyed it and had a nice time reading(contains alot of grinning and rolling eyes* i’m talking about my own reaction)
It has been a while since I’ve grinned like an idiot while reading a book so this book did what it was supposed to do! Love the characters btw! Jared trent you have my attention and tate babe you are a girlboss!
But some parts were questionable .

A bully dark romance book always hits me in the feels. Being tormented her whole high school years, Tate had enough. She’s Ready to fight back against Jared, and does it well. Only problem is, feelings start to fly high. Until that trust is broken once again…or is it?

I usually don’t like high school romance books (with the exception of boys of tommen LOL) but this was actually pretty good. I will say the MMC Jared was almost too mean but the way Tate went away for a year and then came back swinging. I loved it. I loved her growth throughout the book and I love how she kind of sunk to his level but then realized that’s not who she is. I will say she was WAY TO FREAKING NICE about KC and Jared dating that was a shitty move as a bestfriend. Overall I do love how Jared realized what he did was wrong and sometimes you’re so angry for so long that you forget that maybe it’s time to move on. Oh when Jared but lights on their tree I swooned and swooned HARD. 🥹 I also got all misty when Tate gave her monologue because it was so real and hit me right in the feels. I also love how Jared admitted that’s when he realized he had gone too far with his hatred and games. 

Favorite quotes: 

“races aren’t important Tate. There’s no where else I want to be than with you” 

-“I’m sorry, I know I can make this up to you. Don’t hate me”

-“i love you more than myself, more than my own family. I don’t want to take another step in this world without you next to me.”

Me gustó bastante el libro y la historia (una de las razones por las que no me di cuenta que apenas había empezado y luego ya iba por la mitad), todo iba súper bien pero la verdad es que no me pareció justa la razón de Jared para hacer la vida de Tate imposible. Otra cosa que también me pudo, fue el comportamiento de K.C., que mala amiga!
Pero bueno el final fue bastante predecible, pero pues sí lo disfrute y todo.
Ahora quiero leer lo que le sigue a este libro.
