Wow. What an AMAZING story ππππ
HATEFUL LOVE is a bad boy/jock story. It's an enemies to lovers story. It's love from the other side of the tracks. It's "Whatever souls are made of, his and mine are the same." It's a story about loyalty and family. It's overcoming obstacles and rising from your circumstances. It's a brilliant love story.
Silas and Blaine were electric.
The authors knocked it out of the park. Silas and Blaine had so much chemistry. The fine line between love and hate blurred like crazy until one would do ANYTHING for the other.
This was over 400 pages of feelings.
The authors do a great job of painting the picture of exactly what kind of lives the two mcs are supposed to be living. Both are set on specific courses, but circumstances change, and seeing these two navigate what that looks like is EVERYTHING.
Silas is set on becoming an Ace when he graduates. His father and brother were both Aces, and Whaley, the leader, is like a second father to him. Silas may dream of something more, but he knows his duty and will do what he needs to for his family.
Blaine is the perfect jock bro/son/community leader. Drowning under his father's expectations and the idea that he has to be everything for everyone, Blaine starts having panic attacks and dreams of getting out and going to Yale.
When these two collide, it is a hate-fuck-buddy situation. Sooner than they realize, feelings start happening.
The necklaces.
The rings.
The Sheriff.
Whaley!
Their spot.
The roleplay.
"My boyfriend is a sex maniac."
The obsession.
The possessiveness.
The sacrifice.
The jail cell.
The talk at the shop.
It's everything.
One of my favorite scenes is when Blaine shows up at the shop, crying, and Silas REACTS. And what Whaley says. And the whole scene. It's perfection.
Their entire worlds revolve around the other.
These two are absolutely beautiful. I loved this story.
The next story is BUCKY AND WHALEY.
Are you serious?! I'm starting this immediately.
Don't let this story idle on your tbr.
It's amazing.
If you're looking for a book with vibes similar to STUPID DIRTY or GARRON PARK - this is it. Absolutely recommend.
