readwithku's review against another edition

I figured this book was not for me. I felt like it is too dark and abusive.

Tate and Jared used to be friends, until the summer before high school where Jared came back and began to bully Tate. In their senior year, the bullying comes to a head and Tate decides it's time to fight back. 

Great bully romance! I enjoyed Tate's character growth as well as how that pushes Jared.

Writing was a bit juvenile and the plot was a little flimsy. Cute read, though predictable. I found the characters hard to believe at the beginning and I didn't care about them much, but that got better as I kept reading.
