Twisted Hate by Ana Huang
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
3.75
I didn’t necessarily hate this book. But, heres a few things i didn’t necessarily like either,
- friends w benefits trope
- THAT scene after Jules confessed about the painting
- Josh
1. The friends with benefits trope isn’t my favourite because you don’t get the confession scene and the first kiss, but thats just my own personal opinion and isn’t my biggest problem with the book since its just a trope i don’t like and not a problem with the actual plot or writing as a whole.
2. Don’t even TRY to defend josh here because that was so wrong in so many different ways. I understand that he was hurt and felt betrayed, especially from past experiences but that was absolutely no excuse for manipulating Jules like that. Call it whatever you want but that was plain manipulation, and me personally would NOT have forgiven josh in that situation. Tbh i would’ve started going out with that Asher dude instead.
3. I think its clear why i hate josh. Although the max scene redeemed him, a little bit.
