Hating You
by J.L. Beck, C. Hallman
3.5 stars ⭐️
Minor spoilers
Story: if you enjoy bully and/or dark romance, you’ll probably enjoy this book! I do enjoy these types of books- usually. I enjoyed the overall plot and the characters. At first I wasn’t sure I’d like Parker but by the end I did end up liking him.
I don’t typically enjoy books that push the boundaries too hard on consent. This book was almost hitting my limit in this regard but it wasn’t as bad as other books I have read and I was okay to finish it. At first I thought it would push my limits too far but it ended up not going as far as I thought it would.
When you read dark romance, there is an expectation of it being rather risqué. Just know your personal limits and leave if it’s too much for you <3
I wish we would have gotten to know Willow’s sister a little more. I think some aspects of the story would have hit harder if we had a few scenes of them together.
4/5 stars ⭐️
Audio Performance: at first I wasn’t a big fan of either of these narrators. The female grew on me throughout the story (except in ch 11 when it sounds like she kept pulling away from the mic). The male voice on the other hand was not the best. He sounded like he was trying to hard to sound sexy.
