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. No, he'll barely even speak to me.
But he still won't leave me alone.
We were best friends once. Then he turned on me and made it his mission to ruin my life. 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 stay out of his way. I even went to France for a year, just to avoid him.
But I'm done hiding from him now, and there's no way in hell I'll allow him to ruin my senior year. He might not have changed, but I have. It's time to fight back.
I'm not going to let him bully me anymore.
***This novel contains adult/mature young adult situations. It is only suitable for ages 18+ due to language, violence, and sexual situations.
I started this book expecting it to be mind blowing since everyone and their brother is singing it’s praise. I was just disappointed.
I never really understood what the story was.
Jared hates Tate and he shows it by bullying her in high school.
Tate just takes it until she has to go away for one year.
When she returns, suddenly the bulling stops and they’re friends again. Huh. Just like that.
All the crap she got from him, forgotten and forgiven.
And the reason behind his behavior? Could it be any more childish than that?
The writing style didn’t impress me either nor did any of the characters at this point.
The only thing that kept it from being a total waste of time were some really funny scenes and a few other things.
I was debating between 3.5 and 3 stars but I think I’ll settle for 3.
A shame, really since everyone else seems to love it.
