Bully
Bully, (Fall Away Series, Book 1), by Penelope Douglas
Blurb: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 is the second book I've read by Penelope Douglas and it won't be the last. I didn't enjoy it as much as Punk 57, but I was still hooked. Tate was a great character, especially when she started fighting back. However, I had real problems with Jared. It was like there were two completely different characters in the beginning and the end, with not enough transition time in the middle. He just changed from a complete arsehole to a pretty decent guy and though I could sympathise with what he went through I don't think it justified how he treated Tate. And I didn't think Madoc's reasons were great either.Despite that though, I still loved this book. The banter was great and there was so much feeling, especially in the last few chapter. I won't give anything away, but I was grinning ear to ear when Tate got her revenge, even if it was a misunderstanding!I can't wait to read more of this series, especially the last book which I believe is once more about Tate and Jared.My favourite quotes from 'Bully':"Survival is the best revenge,""No wonder guys acted like jerks. Girls like that let them.""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 honour in people thinking you were a slut.""Acting like you don't care is not letting go.""We can be confused about what is good for us but not about what we truly want.""He'a like one of those piggy banks that you have to break to get anything out of.""No one could really hurt me if I could hurt them, right?""I was kind of worried about my anger issues, but now I'm kind of worried about yours.""We'd never forgotten how to be together."
