This book is emotional and angsty and sexy and just down right all around awesomeness. Plus he isn't afraid to call Jared out on how he really feels about her. He made me laugh and especially at hard he worked to make up for being such a Jerk to Tate all these years. On the other hand, I loved Jared's BFF Madoc. she pissed me off and I felt like she was being a crap friend. I will say that I did not like Tate's best friend K.C. There are some interesting side characters in here as well which I think will lead to some great additional books n this series down the road. At that point I started to forgive him and I want them to rebuild what once was an amazing friendship. When Tate give her monologue in class and it is clear that Jared is emotionally affected by it, I realized there was a world of pain hidden beneath the bully veneer. And I'm not talking about a little hate, but full blown, I want to throttle you hatred. How I hated him through the majority of this book. The Tate that came back home for her Senior year had a lot more attitude and was finally ready to stand up to him.Īnd then there is Jared. She took a much needed time out from Life with Jared and came back from Europe and more self confident young woman. I mean, how much can one teenage girl take before she breaks? But Tate is too strong for that. Let me tell you, I am so glad that I did! Tate - my heart broke for her repeatedly for everything she endured at the hands of Jared. But after reading so many great things about it, I decided to give it a shot. I was so hesitant to read this book because the idea of falling for your bully kind of annoyed me.
