The Ones We Hate

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️
If you’ve talked to me over the past 6m chances are you’ve had to listen to me talk endless about why you need to read this book! I’m not even a little bit sorry about it. The entire time I was reading book one I kept thinking about how I couldnt wait for pipers book and TOWH didn’t disappoint. She’s such a relatable character and the way she deals with her grief and how she presents herself to the world felt like I was lookjjg into a mirror at times. Her clumsiness was also me and I love when I’m able to relate to characters, flaws and all it makes the experience of reading a book feel so much more profound and they stay with me for longer. Not going to lie what’s stayed with me quite a bit is the spice in this book😮💨 I’ve thought about Piper tell to “crawl” multiple times a week since I first read it and don’t even get me started on the orchestra pit scene 😭 iykyk. I’m always so impressed by Katie’s storytelling her characters always feel like king lost friends, family or little pieces of myself. Writing about grief is hard but the way Katie weaves it into her books is so beautiful and I’ll never stop screaming about how much I love these stories. I loved the dynamic between piper and Leo, the side characters were amazing and getting to see characters from book one make appearances was one of my favorite parts. I’m obsessed with the way she connects each story and it makes me so giddy to read each subsequent book.
Read if you love
-enemies to lovers
-banter (get ready because these two go at each other hard with the banter it’s the best)
-FMC in control during 🌶️ 🥵
-college romance
-found family
-grief rep
-crying during spicy scenes (kids of joking but not really😂)
