I Hate You is a second chance story intertwined with enemies to lovers. It centers on Charisma, a self proclaimed nerd, and Blaze, the star college football player. The two had something last semester until Blaze broke it for under the disguise that she wasn't his “type". After the ordeal, Charisma developed a strong dislike for him and has made it a point to avoid him. Unfortunately, for her, her luck has ran out and she’ll be seeing more of him.

This was a fairly decent book. Throughout, I stayed entertained and thought that the main characters were great. And I feel as if the author was able to display there history together without a lot of expedition.

The issue I had from the book stems from the fact that it was a rollercoaster. One minute Charisma and Blaze were okay and then a second later they were mad at each other and someone was walking about the door. It got odd fairly quickly. I understand the need to keep the relationship fresh but it felt expressly dramatic at times.

Like mentioned early, I enjoyed the characters. And I wouldn’t mind having another book in their POV. There was such an interesting dynamic between them that I think should be explored more.

I do wish that that Blaze's background would have been explored more. It was so tragic and I found myself wanting more. Especially since his childhood had such a big impact on him. There was one scene that happened towards the middle of the book when him and Charisma were at the grocery store that I don’t think the information was provided to the audience in a caring way. What Blaze told Charisma was personal and impacted a lot of people besides his family. I think it should have been brought up again and not just a throwaway comment.

Final Analysis

I Hate You is an interesting and entertaining read. It does have some fails but it powers through and delivers on a great romance.
