I would actually give this book about 4.5 stars. I read a ton of romance, especially LGBTQ+ romance and many of the stories all kind of blur together. They're good stories, but not necessarily stand outs or great. I read them for comfort.

But every once in a while, there is a romance novel that absolutely captures me. The Hate Project is one of those novels. I honestly feel like Oscar was so well written...mainly because Oscar and I could be twins. There were so many times in the book where I paused and told my friend "Oscar just said/did this. I do the same thing!" No lie, I would almost think the author spied on my life and then finally decided he had enough info to write a story, but just changed the gender lol

Anyone with anxiety and depression will probably feel pretty seen in this book. Especially when it comes to how people with those illnesses deal with their interpersonal relationships. The story was well written, well thought out, and believable. I loved Jack and Oscar's relationship and the realistic friendships in between.

Great book.

Thank you Netgalley for providing an Advances Readers Copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

At first I didn’t think I could get into this book because I found Oscar to be ver negative, whiny, and self-deprecating and that’s really difficult for me to read. Fortunately, the Motherfuckers made up for it and I was able to continue with the book. I’m glad I did because it was a sweet book. The romance wasn’t super strong because Oscar has to battle a lot of thoughts before finding himself. I did enjoy it and will probably eventually read the next one. Also, yay! for this being the first achillian romance to not have anal as the sole and most important sexual activity in the relationship. Glad to read something sexually diverse.
