amazing! i went into the book thinking it would be a short enemies to lovers story, and came out with not only that but a heartbreaking and beautiful story about two characters learning how to move through their trauma and finding comfort in each other. already want to reread it and can’t wait for other books that amanda woody will write!

Enemies to Lovers
Fake Dating
Duel POV

They Hate Each Other was funny and emotional. The character were lovable. The banter was hilarious. The sibling bonds were so cute.

The book features/references: 
Panic attacks. Trauma. Physical abuse.
Alcoholic parent and parent death.
Strained family relationships.
Learning to ask for and accept help.

The audiobook performance was great. I loved the narrators.

All the shining stars for this absolutely beautiful book!!! I could not stop reading, I was so captivated by Jonah and Dylan’s intertwining stories. This book puts them through so much, tackles so many difficult topics, and watching them learn to lean on each other as feelings blossomed was just beautiful. I cannot recommend this queer young adult romance enough — truly superb.

I knew this was going to be a 5 star read from the jump. I loved it so much!!! My beautiful bisexual babies with the world on their shoulders!!! They’re enemies, they’re lovers, they’re fake dating, they’re comforting each other and figuring out the world together! I ate it all up. I thought the tough topics were handled with care and I fell in love with these boys and their stories.

Jonah broke my heart, Dylan was such a well-written character. I loved how they both slowly realized not only their feelings but also that they had people who were just there for them, no questions asked. 
Wonderfully written enemies-to-lovers storyline, both heartbreaking and hopeful. (Also, Dylan was so caring and Jonah deserves all the hugs and naps.)
