Better Hate than Never by Chloe Liese
5.0
i burn, i pine, i perish!
anyone who knows me knows the love i have for 10 things i hate about you. shakespeare, you're an old white guy but you know what u were doing when u wrote the taming of the shrew. u ate that one lil thing.
chloe liese -- you always eat everything you do. you actually devour and leave nothing left in all your book-travels and i have to admire your dedication to always one-upping yourself. this book is everything to me.
the little nods to not only the play, but the triple-platinum (in my house) movie 10 things i hate about you was just the cherry on top to an already perfect premise of a book. this felt like a warm hug and a comforting hand and a deliciously written manuscript of all my delusions <3
kate feeling like an outsider to her family and loving them so much to separate herself from them because she thinks it's best, even at the expense of herself. christopher taking up the missing piece when kate's gone but still feeling the same, afraid to get too close so he separates himself to protect everyone else around him, even at the expense of himself. two sides of the same coin that also couldn't be more different like the complexity of these characters, i could write a thesis on them and i still wouldn't be able to get all the words and emotions i feel for them and about them out of me, but in truth that happens with all of chloe liese's books.
SHE'S JUST TOO GOOD. it's torturous in the best way, i will gladly endure every level of it every time she publishes another book.
