I Hate You

by Ilsa Madden-Mills

[whisperingchapters]

"You were fire in my hands."

Best way to describe this book: sizzling hot, angsty, yet beautifully heart-wrenching! I have read this author's previous works (especially the ones in this same world) and they were good, but I wasn't entirely wowed. This one floored me and I was in need of more! I wanted to keep reading more of Charm and Blaze!

Charm and Blaze had been loosely dating until Blaze called it quits at Charm's party in front of all of her friends. Charm has been heart-broken about it, but she's moving on. She encounters Blaze three months after the break up and her response is a middle finger salute. She thought she was done with him until she finds out he's in her same class, sitting next to her. It's impossible to ignore someone like Blaze, especially when he's trying to make amends.

He... He stares at me like I'm a girl he wants to worship.

I ate this book up! I remember telling Chai that I just couldn't deal with my current read at the time and was so unmotivated. I picked this one up, and the motivation was back from the first page! You could say I inhaled this book in one breath.

I adored Charisma so much. From the first chapter, I could tell I was going to have fun with her and friend, and I was right. I just want to be their friend! I loved how Charm is a nerd girl with a few mischieves up her sleeve. I was able to relate to her in this so I was highly rooting for this woman!

Deep down, no matter how hard I fight, part of me thinks I'm not worth it, that I'm not good enough.

My heart hurt for Blaze so much! I just want to keep screaming, "I love you!" If you read it, you understand why
