I admired Tate.She's an incredible heroine.She's strong and courageous, when she could hide and let the world around her, crush her.
She gave as good as she got!
This book is absofuckinglutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.It has an ORIGINAl plot, very mature yet troubled main characters, some hilarious secondary characters (yeah you guessed right, I'm referring to Madoc) and last but not least it has a HEA.
Penelope Douglas you're my new #1 fav author!
I definitely recommend it!
PS:I'm going to re-read it right now!!!!
Synopsis:
My name is Tate. He doesn't call me that, though. He would never refer to me so informally, if he referred to me at all.
We're neighbors, and once, we were best friends. But then, one summer, he turned on me and has made it his mission to screw up my life at every opportunity. I've been humiliated, shut out, and gossiped about all through high school. His pranks and rumors got more sadistic as time wore on, and I made myself sick trying to hide from him. I worried about what was around every corner and behind every door.
So I left.
I spent a year studying abroad and bathed in the freedom of life without Jared. Now I'm back to finish up high school and get the hell out of here forever. I'm hoping that after a year of breathing room, he's moved on and forgotten all about me.
But even if he hasn't changed, I have. I'm not interested in avoiding him or turning the other cheek anymore. We're going to go head to head, because neither of us wants to back down.
Awesome! thank you!
