He made my heart flutter Wrong Wrong Wrong I know But still flutter I loved the way the author subtly included little elements and details that made me fall for him while he was being a bully but yet that also didn t excusing his actions She made it clear to the readers that there was something deeper beneath the surface something that the heroine couldn t quite see at first.

Bully puppies douglas site_link 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. Billy bookshelf ikea 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 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. Bully ebook 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 any This novel contains adult mature young adult situations It is only suitable for ages 18 due to language violence and sexual situations Bully Fall Away 1 First off I admit I m a sucker for love hate stories And after reading the premise for Bully I was super psyched to see where it would take me. Bully earnest I ve come across a thousand FANFICTIONS that were so much better Hell comparing it to that feels like an insult to fanfictions themselves But this is simply yet another blasted romance novel suffering from the new adult unoriginal cliche itis that s been circulating around and contaminating 80% of the contemporary books I ve read God I believe this is the gazillionth time I m labeling a story as cliche which is making my limited vocabulary feel somewhat cliched but there s just no other way to put it when all these books turn out to be the same A pity really because I felt this storyline held so much potential. Bully pulpit ebook The central focus of Bully sticks with the relationship between our severely annoying protagonist Tate and in case you were wondering she s a she and to further weird you out her full name s actually TATUM I know I know shakes head in exasperation A little advice to you authors out there if you re intending to pick an uncommon name for your main character make sure you don t mix uncommon with unusual It serves to be highly distracting throughout the entire read especially when you have these guys constantly popping in your head and her best friend turned life ruiner Jared Two years into high school have been a living nightmare thanks to this guy and his ludicrous pranks and rumors and I do mean ludicrous because honestly is the school comprised of absolute dimwitted idiots to believe all those blatantly false things about bowel diseases and STDs Jesus fucking christ and for two whole years she s done nothing to bring a stop to it. Bully billows Then one day shes decides to pack up and leave for France for a gap year and returns with no visible transformation in her personality which really confuses me because wasn t that supposed to be the whole point But oh wait guess I missed out the part where she gets sprinkled in pixie dust and spontaneously develops a bout of confidence and tough girl bitchiness to face her bully not to mention the fact that all the guys at school seem to be dealing with a sudden infatuation with her despite treating her no better than a leper before Cue a slew of kneez to the ballz snarky t o t a l l y o r i g i n a l comebacks and heated confrontations But besides all this BS the real kicker was that she was so fucking enraptured by his dreamy good looks and just hubba hubba who cares that dickhead who heedlessly torments me for no apparent reason surpasses the douchiest of douchebags because my oh my look at those sweet set of abs WHAT IN THE WORLDS IS WRONG WITH YOU I get that you were close to this guy in your tween days but after the shit he s put you through I think it s about time you sort yourself out and get the fuck over him It s like she gets possessed by hormones every time she s around him only to have said hormones abandon her next to practically any other guy Especially Ben Jamison who s not only charming and good natured but considered one of the most attractive hunks at school and wonderful Tate here seemingly can t find a single fuck to give about him all due to the one lone fact that he has a taste for country music Ugggh where s my whip I can t even begin to tell you how awful it was having to bear with her narration She deems it a necessity to hatefully label each and every female present in the story either a bitch or a slut or whatnot but then takes pride in being considered one of those According to her she hasn t got any friends to hang out with so I think it s safe to assume that Tate Brandt is an A judgemental son of a gun Oh and the only true friend she does have is as shallow as they can get people I bring to you K. Book bully beans being fully aware of Jared s assholish mistreatments towards Tate doesn t hesitate in pursuing him after falling victim for his perfect looks cringe and insists on her best friend to let go of the past and accept him for who he is in case you didn t know a manipulative bag of dicks double cringe Obviously it s only fitting that Tate should get supremely mad at her for the way she s acting except it s for all the wrong reasons Whether she s ready to believe it or not she s jealous of K. Billy bookcase The whole ordeal is just so bloody infuriating all I wanted was some bleach to douse my no wait their eyes out with Not a single character in the book that I could give less of a damn about They were all justsoLike I said before the main focus was on the romance which let me tell you was just plain shitty I felt no chemistry between Tate and Jared whatsoever and couldn t even find myself sympathizing much with his past oh yes did I not mention Mr Mysterious here has his very own secret past to strip away all his faults how perfectly understandable All my energy was just so directed towards my vexation at them I couldn t take it any The sole reason I even finished this off was to finally discover what had induced Jared s initial coldness towards Tate spoiler alert it s disappointing And then I forced myself to reach the finish line with ragged breaths to see how the author planned on ending this because THERE S ACTUALLY A SECOND BOOK Gag me. Bully earnest All in all don t bother with this Just please Don t Rest assured it s not going to be worth it Bully Fall Away 1 I am conducting what I m shelving as a New Adult NA Experiment I m going to work my way through some of the popular New Adult books and see if I can weed out the crap and hopefully find some surprising gems Here s hoping Dear bookI was ready to like this book I was ready to be forgiving of the small negatives I was ready to make excuses for it try and justify the bad and pretend the good overshadowed it I don t even remember the last time I wanted to like a book this much Despite what you may think from my reactions to most books in the NA experiment I don t just spend my time looking for things to bitch and moan about in these books I m looking for the NA books which are different and actually tell a good story even if it is a romance This book s description didn t sound like the others that are all virtually identical So I wanted to love it I really tried But I couldn t There were too many things The negatives were flying at me on every page and after a while I couldn t ignore them Which is sad We started on reasonably good terms I really liked the idea of the book for two reasons 1 I wanted to see how the author handled the subject of bullying and 2 I was intrigued by the promise of a bully being turned into someone we could love The book didn t really deliver on either of those For the former the book started by using a chapter to give us an example of the way Tate had been bullied for several years by a guy who used to be her best friend but turned on her It was sad it was awful and I felt sorry for her Objective achieved Then we cut to a year later when she comes back from a year studying in France determined not to let him win this time around What this book then became was a showdown between two beautiful people who clearly wanted to shag but decided the best kind of foreplay is that where they antagonize the hell out of each other It wasn t really a story about bullying it was just about them each trying to get one up on the other As for the second reason I was attracted to this book Jared the guy did win me over to some extent I feel a bit strange about it because on the one hand I can see why he behaved like he did and I can find some level of forgiveness for him But I m not really able see a why Tate forgave him so easily and b why he changed back so abruptly I don t think Tate s class monologue was a convincing enough reason The reasons for his behaviour make sense but his progression back to how he was before and the HEA don t The main problem and I shouldn t be surprised by this is that the author doesn t attempt to humanize him first That would have made it a better book and a believable story But instead of being humanized Jared is sexualized first And using his hot body as an excuse for forgiveness didn t work because that s not a good enough reason and I don t find this an attractive description of a man I doubt you even wait until the condom s off before forgetting their names There must be something wrong with me. Bullying fisico But anyway This stuff wouldn t have been enough for a one star rating on its own With just this I would have given at least two stars maybe even three on a good day The problem I had the HUGE fucking problem I had with this book was the protagonist God she was the very meaning of insufferable And her best friend wasn t far behind On that subject this seems to be incredibly common in NA books BBF Bad Best Friend Syndrome It s like a requirement for the protagonist s best friend to encourage them to forget about all the bad stuff a guy has done just forget that he s a total jerk because he is SO HOT Jared harassed Tate for years and yet her best friend advises her to get together with him and when she doesn t decides to have a go herself Forget the best friend let s get back to the high and mighty queen of preciousness herself Tate views everyone but herself her parents and Jared with utter disdain Being inside her head was like waging a war against every other female because of the things they wore the things they said and the guys they were with For one I feel it is always best to avoid stupid phrases like queen bee of the mean girls but it was when she referred to everyone Jared was with as being slutty because they were all over him that I felt like someone had really lit my fuse She walks onto every scene describing the others as slutty looking girls If they weren t sluts they were bitches or twits every woman is an enemy to Tate in this book even her best friend isn t immune Piper the girl Jared uses and casts aside gets the worst of it Piper had her face buried in his neck She looked trashy in her short tight black dress and heels Who wore heels to the beach Look I go to a University that used to be an all female institution It s not any but there are still currently around two women to every one guy I know women Smart women stupid women extroverted women shy women ambitious women funny women geeky women sporty women straight women gay women and I don t believe that I have ever seen a single woman as vapid shallow and senseless as all the ones who exist in this novel They walk around with their breasts bulging out drooling over men who only love the marvellous Tate who is naturally above all this breast bulging drooling business I guess it s bad that I find myself siding with the antagonist in all this And don t even get me started on that ridiculous fight in the school corridor between Tate and Piper. Gracie bullyproof pdf There is so much slut shaming woman shaming and obsessing over virginity in this book For Tate her virginity is a gift wrapped present to be given to the one most deserving while having sex with multiple guys is shameful This quote is a particular favourite of mine I d been called a bitch before and it didn t hurt the way being called a slut did Being a bitch could be a survival technique They get respect There was no honor in people thinking you were a slut Reading that was a bit like dying a painful anti feminist death. Bully dog But wait Just when you thought the guys got to escape Tate s judgement because of their penises she casts a withering glance over them and their stupid ways Honestly she is the most annoying character ever The girls had no other interests beside shopping and makeup and the guys here gave me the urge to sanitize my eyeballs after seeing the way they looked at me For godsake Ms Precious go sanitize your eyeballs somewhere we don t have to hear you whining here you go use this acid. Bully mods Tate s thoughts when Ben came to talk to her and tried to be nice were particularly annoying too He was really sweet and lovely didn t judge her on the rumours and just wanted a conversation And what is Tate thinking about these niceties She is inwardly cringing at him because he likes country music What a moron Whereas jackass who takes pleasure in humiliating her at least likes cool music Moron Tate I hope you fall into a burning ring of fire down down down with the flames going higher and I hope you stand by your man until Piper Jolene steals him Then you ll be all blue eyes crying in the rain dreaming of what you ll do with a subway token and a dollar tucked inside your shoe I can t think of a reason to use the words you ve got to know when to hold em know when to fold em but I m going to anyway And really who needs a reason for anything beyond because tractors are sexy And on that note I shall depart Bully Fall Away 1 Thank you to EVERYONE who has left reviews and messaged with feedback Truly As a new author who had no connections and no network I cannot tell you how much your support has meant It has been a wonderful year and a half since Bully s release and now three books later we complete the circle Jared and Tate will continue to finish up the series Look for Aflame in April 2015 Note This is not the cover Just a teaser pic Thank you everyone again Bully Fall Away 1 5 HUGE Asshole StarsI REALLY enjoyed this book Now I know bullying is a serious and highly sensitive issue And I m not downplaying that or tying to make light of that I am speaking about this strictly as a 30 something non impressionable ADULT reading a work of complete fucking fiction So I m not going to get into any social commentary regarding this books portrayal of bullying and all its evil My review is from an entertainment aka how un put downable was it standpoint only And this shit floated people In other words I was totally absorbed aka otherwise rendered completely useless in my normal life until I finished this story Jared was such a magnetic character. Bully billows And I loved him He was mysterious and alpha and a TOTAL ASSHOLE And I m always a sucker for those traits I also really loved the idea of he and Tate being best friends as kids Because what little girl doesn t dream of having that with the cute boy next door I loved their push pull I FELT their connection and I just really loved Jared Oops I already said that My bad Anyway I m definitely looking forward to from this author Bully Fall Away 1 Bully was a wonderfully addictive read that kept my heart racing from start to finish I could not put it down 5 stars He loves me He loves me not He loves me He loves me notJared and Tate grew up next door to each other Jared was sweet generous and friendly and they were the best and closest of friends But not any The kid who had held her hand through the pain of losing her mother who had climbed trees with her and who had snuck over for sleepovers was gone and now he seemed to live solely to torment her Every party we go to or every time I relax at school there s some prank or embarrassment to ruin it. Bullypedia The title of this book did not lie The hero genuinely was a bully in the first part of the book and to be honest I wasn t sure how I was ever going to fall for him He was mean Not like violent or abusive or anything but the things he said and did were genuinely hurtful and unkind Even after everything he d done part of me still missed that boy who was my waking thought and constant companion as a kid But that Jared was gone now In his place was a sour hateful douchbag that had no regard for me But the real question that I kept asking myself was why As a general rule behavior like his is a result of some sort of extreme hurt but for the life of her Tate couldn t figure out what she did to wrong him and she was hurting deeply both for their lost friendship and for the pain he was causing in her life. Bullymake dog toys Now because the story was told entirely from Tate s perspective it was a while before I got to discover what had made Jared turn into a bully which left me plenty of time to wonder at the possibilitiesEverything about him was just so contradictory He blared music late at night so she couldn t sleep but covered for her at school when she was in trouble He made sure none of the guys at school ever touched yet and yet clearly didn t want her for himself I kept trying to figure him out Maybe it was his messed up way of trying to protect her Maybe he didn t feel good enough for her and was trying in the only way he knew how to look out for her A part of me couldn t help but try to rationalize or at least understand what was going on inside his head because the I read the it was clear that his actions were not just straight up meanness There was something behind it Misguided and wrong perhaps but I could sense something good in him maybe Although at first I wondered if maybe that was just my natural desire to redeem the hero of my book needless to say it stirred up a lot of questions and kept me totally hooked and curious to see where the story would go next. Kindle buy books I also really want to point out how much I loved the heroine She was smart sassy and certainly no pushover Given the bullying theme of the book and how she was the victim of it it was also clear that he wasn t a bad guy There was a time when I had all his attention and I loved it And as much I wanted him to leave me alone I also liked. Ebook bullying pdf I will say though that despite everything going on between them Jared and Tate had some seriously chemistry Talk about unresolved sexual tension I mean really But I loved that despite everything he did while he was being mean that he never crossed the line into touching her that again was proof to me of him feeling something deeper for her Don t touch me I d meant to yell but it came out as a whisper Jared moved his head from side to side trying to catch my eyes his lips inches from my fave If I ever lay my hands on you he said low and husky you ll want it. Bully apk I really hated myself for admitting it but despite the bullying boring down on me Finally Because it s been a long time since I could stand the sight of you I promise you will be in tears by next week. Book bully pulpit Little by little Tate began to piece together bits of his life a life she hadn t been a part of since his change at fourteen She begins to notice things scars on his back subtle ways that he protected her and yet none of it quite added up When Jared was fourteen his father called and asked if Jared could come and visit him for the summer Happily Jared agreed and left for eight weeks After that visit though he returned cold and cruel. Bullying newspaper But I still just couldn t figure Jared out Did he like her somewhere deep down inside Did he hate her unlikely based on his actions and words What made him so angry with her Why did he want to hurt her Why did he want to protect her Questions Questions Never ending questions I needed to know WHY This book also had a lot of deeper issues going on as well When someone is bullied how far do they get pushed before they retaliate And by doing so are they not themselves just perpetuating the cycle by becoming a bully themselves Or is it self defense Is it justified Understandable Necessary Completely wrong Where were the lines drawn I was nervous going into this book could I fall for a bully Did I even want to I hate bullying It makes me sick But I could sense from early on that Jared was a little different He certainly wasn t all bad and his actions weren t random and something about him made me desperate to find out what had happened to him to make him the way he was It had to have been badWhen his backstory came out it broke my heart Completely It explained everything It of course didn t excuse it but knowing what had happened in his life you could at least understand where he was coming from. Bullying laboral But at the same time I absolutely adored how despite the tragedy of it Tate didn t just fall into a weepy heap and accept him back He had seriously wronged her regardless of his reasons and she made him work to earn her forgiveness I m sorry he whispered I know I can make this up to you Don t hate me. Bully trust The book took me through a range of emotion and even left me teary in places seeing the friendship they d once had the hurt that was left over the anger that was thrown around and the hearts that were left bruised. Bully meaning This was one of those books that made me want to slow down and pace myself so that I didn t finish it too soon The story sucked me in made me care and totally absorbed me in these characters lives and journeys I loved every word Are you mine I asked as I wiped me tears He kissed the corners of my mouth softly Always have been he whispered This is a New Adult book There is steam and sex The scenes are not fade to black but yet also are not overly graphic They re emotional than anything. Ebook bullying pdf There is definitely a happy ending here No cliffhanger But this is the first of a series so it does leave room to explore their story further after this book so there is no epilogue But still I was left completely happy satisfied and overflowing with warm fuzzy emotions From start to finish Bully grabbed a hold of my heart I could not put it down I could not stop turning the pages My heart raced broke and healed It was a unique twist on the bad boy meets good girl tale Beautiful painful and addictive 5 stars I honestly can t believe that this a debut novel The writing was effortless and just allowed you to flow seemlessly through the story I was very impressed and will certainly be looking out for from Penelope Douglas.

Bully (Fall Away, #1)Initial thoughts Not worth the time taken to read I honestly thought it would be a better read than it actually was it wasn t terrible in the beginning but at the same time as it went on it glorifies and romanticizes bullying to no end I have a lot of words to say about this and I ll try to be as constructive as I can about what went wrong with this read after I meditate a bit over it. Bullyq quest Full review This is a difficult review for me to write but I m going to start this reflection with a few thoughts about current trends I see in popular literature I think it s fair to say that conflict drives much of what we read and the experiences that we get from that conflict in a work make us value it in a myriad of ways But one thing that I absolutely loathe that I see on the rise is the fetishization not sure if that s a word of problems at their deepest roots that entail suffering without context for what it is or having any moral consequences I ve read stories where rape is glorified where abuse physical mental emotional is championed and desired over respect in a relationship and in the case of Penelope Douglas s Bully bullying is seen as something that s desirable despite of a victim s experiences. Pdf bullying escolar I m not going to take away from Douglas s narrative in the fact that it is compulsively readable and that it starts off with a heroine that does stand up for herself in the face of torments that she endures from the people who surround her Bully had me I went along with the story for a while But then it lost me as it became clear that in all the measures surrounding this story it glorifies falling in love with someone who torments you Regardless of whatever issues the hero had it doesn t justify what he did to Tate and I sincerely doubt after all that Jared did Tate could forgive and lust after him as easily as she did. Bully mods Tate Tatum is a young woman who returns to town for her senior year after being away for a year in France Her father is out on business leaving Tatum by her lonesome at home with a grandmother who occasionally checks in on her though that was a little hard to believe I suspended my disbelief enough to follow the story Tate was once friends with her next door neighbor Jared but after he returned home after a stay with his father he started to bully her Some turns of his bullying is horrific to say the least alongside his friends and jealous girlfriends who join into making Tate s life miserable when she returns to town Still I liked how Tate stood up for herself in spells and her retorts in places were actually hud well I don t know how I felt about the monologue I know some people would think it s emotionally resonant but for me for all the considerations of what Tate went through it didn t hit me as hard as I would ve liked. Bully english 1 After a point it was obvious that Tate was championed as having a love hate relationship with Jared despite the horrible things he said and did to her I hated that because there s a line between the whole I love you I hate you dynamic and having a hero who obviously gets off on hurting others while the heroine still succumbs to lust in light of that This actually could ve been a narrative where it clearly established Tate lusted after the boy that Jared used to be but that measure was lost in the foray of the current actions that Jared did to her I still think one of the few authors who managed to portray a hero who was a jerk but was truly repentant of his ways and manages to be likable in turns was Kody Keplinger Granted The DUFF is YA and this is NA but at the same time that felt real of a story than this one and truly had something to say about its characters and the issues conflicts it presented Bully was shallow underdeveloped and fetishizing a major social and societal problem in comparison. Bully orange It forces the point home when Tate is a victim in so many ways and shouldn t have had to endure it especially with other people in her circles simply dismissing Jared s actions so casually and them telling her in so many words give him a chance Eff NO Yes it s true that in order to understand the root of bullying and bullying behaviors you have to see what factors play into the behaviors that are displayed and come to an understanding about why the bully engages the victim in the way they do Usually that comes with getting help and having the bully deal with with what s perpetuating those behaviors in proper context But to come at the expense of the victim and in not so subtle terms put the responsibility on the victim to change the bully No just no I don t care what age group this book is intended for that s not a good attitude to approach the matter. Bully puppies C goes out with Jared for a time I found it hard to believe Tate would turn a blind eye or feel guilty for distancing herself from a friend who would do that Granted I know the lot of us have different coping points and thresholds for forgiveness but this narrative asked me one too many times to overlook some jarring conflicts in an attempt to see how the leading love interests get together It was milked and manufactured and I did not see the constructiveness of its portrayal here. Bully meaning Overall I was very disappointed with the narrative here and I couldn t get behind the relationship or the insinuations made on the subject matter here It s drama for the sake of drama with characters that I m supposed to believe fall in love but it didn t progress with any kind of realistic terms for me to believe in it. Bullying no While I liked this book for the most and was captivated by the author s realistic portrayal of bullying I must admit this book left me with mixed feeling Bullying is a real life problem and I felt the author did a great job showcasing its powerful ability to hurt the human soul while at the same time showing the resilience of the human spirit For me though this book had some undeniable stumbling blocks This story was too Young Adult for my personal tastes And while I felt Tate s character was well fleshed out richly developed and multilayered the rest of the cast of characters including Jared for me at least seem at times one dimensional There was a lack of character development and character depth to them They seemed to be locked into the scripted roles they were assigned Because of that I found it difficult to sympathize with Jared s plight and the reasons for his atrocious behavior once it was finally revealed or for that matter to understand why Tate was so willing to forgive and forget all he d done to her when he finally changed his actions Sadly I was never given enough reasons to fully like Jared s character All in all I m glad I read this book If you enjoy the Young Adult New Adult genre then you will than likely LOVE this story Considering the characters were in high school I would classify this book Young Adult Definitely a mature Young Adult as it was fairly steamy Review posted at Swept Away By Romance Bully Fall Away 1 5 Stars I had loved Jared once but now I knew without a doubt that my Jared was gone God This book I mean THIS BOOK Words fail me to describe just how much I loved this I ve had this in my kindle for what feels like ages since I got it as a freebie way back in 2013 I ve seen it making the rounds on Goodreads and for some reason I still hadn t read it If I can kick my own ass for not reading this sooner I would because this book This book reminded me about all the reasons why I fell in love with New Adult romance to begin with And I m not talking about the manufactured angst stupid decisions at at times gratuitous sex scenes No I m talking that all encompassing feeling just the right amount of gut wrenching angst you hate but love the hero and you want to high five the heroine kind of read It was like it was custom written just for me This is how bullies are made Jared will be a hero that every reader will love to hate I sure as hell did But as much as I wanted to hate him she stood up for herself and she owned it She was comfortable in her own skin and it was the perfect balance to the Jared s mercurial moods You were my tempest my thunder cloud my tree in the downpour I loved all of those things and I loved you But now You re a fucking drought I thought that all the assholes drove German cars but it turns out that pricks in Mustangs can still leave scars I can t remember the last time a book kept me up all night completely incapable of setting it down for even a second because I needed to know what happened next I was sucked in from just the first chapter and read this in one sitting This is exactly the kind of angst that I m starving for Imperfectly perfect rage inducing and yet flawless That probably doesn t even make sense but if you re an angst whore like me you ll know what I mean My absolute favorite trope is the enemies to lovers hate lust thing and Bully delivers that in spades While there were parts I wanted from I still can t rate it down for that simply because this book absolutely enthralled me So much so that I couldn t even bat an eyelash at any minor quibbles it may have had We can be confused about what is good for us but not about what we truly want Simply put it was amazing Just amazing This is a book that I recommend to any lovers of New Adult romance I have found myself a new author to obsess over and my only regret is not reading this fantastic book sooner Yesterday lasts forever Tomorrow comes never. Bullying you can stop it Until you For reviews visit Bully Fall Away 1 Instagram Twitter Facebook PinterestDNF 20% Here s the thing about Penelope Douglas I think you either love or hate their books They have a very distinctive style that s very soap opera y and edgy and kind of feels like a bird s eye view into what it s like living in a small midwestern town I bought a whole bunch of their books when they went on sale because I remembered actually liking CORRUPT but now I m wondering if that was a false memory because I haven t liked CREDENCE BIRTHDAY GIRL or PUNK 57 It s not even that I hate their books they just make me uncomfortable and kind of squick me out I know some people like that feeling because they enjoy reading books that push their boundaries and sometimes I do too because that s how you think about human behavior and what makes people tick But all of their books are narrated in first person and their heroines kind of embrace internalized misogyny just a little too much for me to fully get on board Tate as a heroine feels like the kind of girl who pulls up the rope ladder behind her because her girl power comes at the expense of other women Respect for this being like the first major popular bully romance but I just couldn t get into it. Billy kindergarten 5 Crazy good stars For her whole high school career Tate has been bullied By one person in particular Jared Jared is Tate s neighbor and used to be Tate s best friend but now he isn t He is just someone who enjoys making her life hell I had loved Jared once but now I knew without a doubt that my Jared was gone The worst part about it The summer before their freshman year of highschool Jared went to stay with his dad When he came home he was different He wanted nothing to do with Tate And she has no idea why Thats the worst feeling in the world To be that close to someone to love them and for them to start treating you terribly It s like she doesn t even know him any Tate goes to Europe for her whole junior year She sort of becomes her own while she is over there She comes home for her senior year ready to start fresh She is determined to ignore Jared s antics have a good year and make the most of her last year of high school She is sick of all of Jared and his friend s crap She won t put up with it any Tate is feisty Strong willed Tough She was an awesome heroine And Jared Oh my Jared. Kindle issues This may make me seem a little crazy but I will just say it right now I LOVE JARED Okay a lot of people loved Jared by the end of the book Not me I loved him the entire time I read this book He was a jerk An asshole A bully But there was just something about him that pulled me to him I was rooting for him the whole book so yay Once he said If I ever lay my hands on you you ll want it I was a goner Let me throw this out there I don t like bullies Picking on people for any reason is not cool There was just something about this guy you could tell he and Tate had a love hate thing going on and I could tell there was some reason he was acting the way he was After Tate starts sticking up for herself things start to change for her and Jared Not at first at first he is still just as determined to piss her off as ever He even messes around with her best friend just to get a rise out of her As the story builds you can t help but notice the sexual tension between these two and the protectiveness Jared has over Tate Eventually things between them escalate This is hard for Tate to come to terms with On one hand this guy was her best friend for years She has always loved him she is very attracted to him She just doesn t think she can trust him Jared still isn t ready to open up to Tate He doesn t feel like he can tell her why he has been the way he has been all those years All he can do is apologize I won t hurt you I ll never hurt you again I m sorry But is that ever going to be enough for Tate Can she ever trust Jared or is it all just some ploy to get to her again Once I started this book I had trouble putting it down It captivated me from the beginning This is a topic not everyone is comfortable reading about but I think it was pretty awesome that she went with it And for being a YA book there was some really nice steam in there An emotional story about love friendship standing up for yourself and forgiveness A wonderful debut novel Bully Fall Away 1.
