A review by serenityfire
The Hate Project by Kris Ripper

3.0

This is a hard book to review because while I did not love this book like I did the previous one, I think the author did an excellent job writing from the perspective of a hero we would not normally see in a romance. This author is really good at presenting realistic depictions of anxiety. It makes for a slightly uncomfortable read, but I think it is also powerful.

I think I would have liked the book more if we had spent more time with the other main character, Jack. It was great to revisit the friend group from the first group, but I found the pacing here slower and more awkward, though that does fit the hero, Oscar.

Don’t read this if you what a traditional enemies to lovers romance, as this defies those expectations. It’s not sweet or funny. It’s tough and anxious.

I will definitely still check out the next book in the series.

I received an advanced readers copy of this book from the publisher and Net Galley in return for a fair review
