I was actually really surprised by how much a liked this book. It was funny, sexy and put a smile on my face the entire time. Definitely reminded me of the Bridget Jones movies. Will be looking for more books by this author.

This is a Wattpad story and that's where it belongs. I couldn't get through it. I might've enjoyed it at 13 but as a 30 yo.. just no

It took me so long to decide what to read next, but when I came across Love to Hate You I just couldn't resist a good forbidden romance and I was pleasantly surprised by this book because I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. This whole book was a big over the top and dramatic mess that really came together in a very cute and entertaining way.
I was a little thrown off by the narrator at the beginning because it's read in an english accent and I was worried it would be harder for me to grasp but it really grew on me and by the end I totally loved how over the top it was and how the woman just made everything so dramatic.
I thought that the story itself was pretty generic and basic and I guessed the twist from three miles away but I liked how it was written and executed. Also the chapters were really short and entertaining and I was just devouring them so fast.
Sera was dramatic and when I say dramatic i mean DRAMATIC! She was making a huge deal out of everything in the most hilarious way. She stressed so much and put herself in so many awkward and uncomfortable situations I was cringing for her so much. But she was also really nice, caring, funny and strong. I loved her relationship with JJ and Bruce and I wish we could've seen more of her and her sister together.
Ben was a really interesting person to read about because on one hand he was this tattooed guy that seemed like a bad boy but he was honestly such a cute and nice guy that cared about the people around him.
He was a little creepy though... I mean sometimes he just said these weird things and made some questionable choices but they were always adressed.
Their romantic relationship was really adorable. I liked how persuasive Ben was and that he didn’t give up easily. They were really cute and I just enjoyed their love story.
The ending was a little too good to be true and a little too nicely wraped up. That's probably my only big complaint.

I so wanted to like this book and the beginning was quite promising but then... Well things went downhill.
There was lust here. I saw no love or good foundations for love. They didn't know each other at all and yet they were in love?
The change in the personality of Ben was strange. One minute he's all brooding and tough and the next he's following her around like a puppy dog and being sappy.
I almost didn't finish this but I forced myself to. The ending felt like it was so forced, so many of those things could have developed earlier in the books and it wouldn't have felt do forced.
I could go on but there's really no point, this just wasn't for me.

The man is not a romantic lead, but instead shows all the red flags of a serial killer. He's a stalker, he's obsessed, he is highly inappropriate. It's not romantic. It's sick.
Also, throw in some mild racism and jokes about sexual harassment and yeah this book sure is something. Something I will never finish!

Blasted my way through this in one sitting. I genuinely loved it & have since bought more books.
