I Love You, I Hate You by Elizabeth Davis
4.0
Great debut! I thought the book started okay but got much stronger as it went. I adored the friend groups of both MCs. And the parental relationships were really well done.
I thought starting the book with sex really detracted from what should have been amazing chemistry—we didn’t get the build up of tension these two deserved (and us too!). Also, the beginning was way too much telling and not enough showing, so that felt like a slow start to me. There were other parts like this as well, so maybe some pacing issues.
But overall a solid 3.75 stars, rounded to 4, obviously.
