Jared and Tate😍 I couldn’t get enough of them. Quite literally, I could not put this book down and finished reading this in two and a half hours. I loved the emotions that come with Penelope’s characters. I hate to say it, but I’d gladly be in a toxic relationship with Jared🫶🏻 cause that man NEEDED Tate.

He needed her as much as you need water to survive. Using hate as a coping mechanism to cover his needs because he couldn’t get whatever it was that he needed. Tate was, understandably, confused by his hate but she fought back! She became bold and fearless. Too much that she realized it was no longer in a good way. 

“This is how bullies are made”

I devoured the tension and the angst. 

BUT I couldn’t understand how she went to *literal* France for a year and didn’t speak of it at all the entire novel. Just one time where she mentioned she went on dates but they turned out to just be friends That was an odd thing to me. Jared made up for it so it’s okay❤️

✨I recommend This 100% onto the next ✨
