I wasn't satisfied by the timing of the ending, but I really did enjoy this book. I was really drawn in by the characters and I'm sad I don't get to know more about what happens for them next.

This book was way better than I expected, but it does deal with some heavy issues that some people may need a content warning for.

It’s clear the author has a complicated but loving relationship with her culture and the religion she was raised in. This book explores what can happen in a small religious community when the wrong people are in charge and are actively harming others. It is also a romance. Idk I liked it a lot! Definitely gonna read more from this author.

This cover might make you think you are getting a light little romcom, but there is so much more going on between the covers.

The Trouble with Hating You is about a Southeastern Asian couple navigating their religious community, expectations of friends and family, and religious trauma. It was very heavy at times.

- Enemies to Lovers
- Religious communities
- Purity culture

The one thing that I wish was that the characters did decide to take legal action against the predator. I know each situation is different, but I think in an ideal world, that character wouldn't just have been dealt with quietly after everything came out. Especially when individuals like that in religious communities could potentially continue victimizing children.
