The Hate Project by Kris Ripper

4.0

The Hate Project follows grumpy Oscar and Jack, who aren't exactly friends, but not exactly enemies. Oscar battles a series of mental health issues, including anxiety, and I really liked how the author was able to write that into the story. I could definitely sense how the anxiety was a major issue and could hinder relationships on multiple levels for Oscar. It also helped that the story was told from his POV, which I think helped me connect with the story, and especially with Oscar. The development of the relationship was authentic and I loved the snarky banter between Oscar and Jack. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I thought it fantastic! Ripper writes with a variety characters, and you can really get a feel for each one throughout the story. This is the second in The Love Study series, and while I really liked the first book, I think I liked this one just a bit more! Thank you to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book to review.
