I Love You, I Hate You by Elizabeth Davis

4.0

With student loans coming out of her ears, Victoria took the higher paying in-house counsel route in her law career. Whilst working for the largest food retailer might not be saving the world it is at least providing her enough to pay her bills and send money to her mom each month. It does mean that she comes across her arch-nemesis Own more and more often as he fights for the employees suing the retailer. Their hatred in the courtroom overflowing outside, but there is a fine line between love and hate.

Victoria loves a good debate, which is a good thing when you’re a lawyer. Taking to Twitter she tweets with a range of different people. Finding herself a ‘girl gang’ who regularly have her corner as well as Luke who after tweeting for a while now, often slide into each other’s DMs. Preferring the anonymity of it all Victoria (aka Nora) doesn’t wish to meet Luke (aka Owen) or share names etc. They chat about anything and everything becoming a welcome distraction in both their lives.

As they find each other drawn together in real life despite not realising who they are online they navigate an ‘I should hate you but I want you’ relationship. However, with Victoria guarded about letting people into her life and Owen a rich boy who doesn’t understand her issues they crash and burn. Nora reaches out to Luke to meet – but what happens when Luke (Owen) realises it is Victoria (Nora) he has been tweeting all this time?

A modern-day, social media take on the classic You’ve Got Mail. It was lovely to see the conversations and relationships they each had with their own circle of friends alongside their own interactions.
