The Trouble with Hating You by Sajni Patel

emotional reflective medium-paced

4.0

This cover might make you think you are getting a light little romcom, but there is so much more going on between the covers. 

The Trouble with Hating You is about a Southeastern Asian couple navigating their religious community, expectations of friends and family, and religious trauma. It was very heavy at times. 

- Enemies to Lovers
- Religious communities
- Purity culture

The one thing that I wish was that the characters did decide to take legal action against the predator. I know each situation is different, but I think in an ideal world, that character wouldn't just have been dealt with quietly after everything came out. Especially when individuals like that in religious communities could potentially continue victimizing children.
