Rule #1: No hot guys.
It might sound ridiculous. I get it. It kind of is, but college was supposed to be my sanctuary. It was my place to start over. The rumors, the whispers, and the jealousy I endured through high school would all be gone.
No one would know me at college.

Thus far, there are a total of 1462 five star GR ratings on this book. I can happily admit, that none of them are ever going to be me. Just like Kennedy Clarke, our main character - I'm not going to sugarcoat this, neither am I going to 'be nice'.

Overall Opinion: I'm honestly surprised I made it through this one tbh. The h grated my nerves, and I wouldn't want to be around her because it seemed like she was on a hair trigger to jump to some psycho or bit€hy behavior! Other than the sex I don't understand why they "loved" each other, and I never connected with the H. I keep on getting sucked in to this author's books because she has good ideas, and her blurbs are always interesting -- but sadly they never seem to work for me. I mi ...more

Books like this are why I love to read! Hate To Love You tackles some pretty tough issues, yet remains sexy and entertaining! It's sheer New Adult brilliance! The storyline is phenomenal and expertly written. This is my new favorite from Tijan.
It's rare that I feel anything for a heroine before the hero. Typically, it's all about the man. I'm shallow, but that's okay. However, Kennedy (the heroine) is so much like me, that I couldn't help but notice her immediately. Narcissistic, right ...more

Series: Standalone

Release date: August 28, 2017
Cliffhanger: No
HEA(view spoiler)
Hate to Love You was my first read by Tijan, and while I would be willing to give another one a shot, I think this one just wasn't the best choice for me. My main grievance was the heroine. I tried to like her, I really did. But I struggled with her for pretty much the entire book. Her actions were so over the top and aggressive and she rubbed me the wrong way f ...more
Don't do what I did!!!
I started this book when I knew very well that I couldn't finish it in one sitting and regretted it immediately. I LOVED this book!!! I was pulled in from the very first page, and had trouble putting it down.
Tijan's books are usually always high on my priority list, but her college books eclipse even that standing. There is NOTHING I love more than her take on college life. I adore it, especially if she matches up a feisty and snarky heroine with a über-popular jock. I lo ...more

Kennedy Clarke had a plan. Stay away from everyone, stay focus and steer clear from the drama, from the false pretenses from false friends. In order to do that, she hides the fact her "popular celebrity" of a brother is attending the same college, she acts as a loner, she's harsh and sarcastic and she never lets anyone in. And because of the heart-breaking experience in high school, she's more than adamant to follow through the set of three rules:

I used to have similar rules to the ones Kennedy in this book has set, when I started university.
Many many years ago.

I think me and Tijan are done for good.
I’ve read 10 of her books. I use to love her! However, since Carter Reed, every book I start I can’t seem to finish. I’m not even marking them here.
For some reason, I thought this one would be good but it’s a story I’ve read over and over again.
A girl who doesn’t want to mesh with the others.
Bitchs who completely ignore or mistreat her.
Boys all over her.
Bitchs who then start to notice her when they see who she is with.

Yeah this is gonna be a no for me. Immature main character who hates the guy before he even speaks one word to her just because he's good looking. She also acts like she doesn't know her brother because apparently then guys wouldn't want to talk to her??? I don't know. If you want to write characters with this level of maturity, please don't try to pass them off as adults.
So.... I have decided that I am taking a break from chicks with a "chip on their shoulder". Man, does that get old!!!
Kennedy Clark is a smart mouth college freshman that had a bad experience in high school. She has decided that college was going to be different. She will keep to herself and talk to no one and I do mean no one. She only has like one friend because she prefers it that way.

I haven't read much from Tijan but so far I haven't had a bad experience with her books. I enjoy her writing style and it never fails to grab my attention, no matter the subject she's writing about. In Hate to Love You we're introduced to two college students, Shay and Kennedy. Kenz doesn't want to be attracted to Shay but the more they come in contact the more he starts to wear her down.

OK. So this was so bad.
Like I don't even think it warrants even a one star rating because this is quite possibly the worst book I've ever read and I'm pretty proud of myself for possessing the stubborn dedication to have finished reading this. That takes a lot of willpower. I deserve all the free books in the world for having gone though this shit fest.
I tend to give low ratings to books that are either super-boring-to-me or 99-problems(atic). This book not only bulls-eyed on both, but also wo

Hate to Love You is what I’m talking about! Remember the Fallen Crest series? Remember the angst, the banter and the witty dialogue? Yes, it’s back and it’s called Hate to Love You. This is the Tijan kind of book I’m talking about. Don’t get me wrong, I love her mafia / dark books, but I really enjoyed this one.

I'm always irrationally optimistic about Tijan books. I dunno why. Whenever I see one, I always think it might be good and will want to read it.
It's weird, cuz I've only ever read one of her books before - Fallen Crest High and I rated that 2 stars. Despite that low rating though, I have overall positive memories of it - I remember it being super entertaining. Ridiculous story, but entertaining ;)

Gah! This book had such promise. The title, the blurb, the cover, the author but it just fell short. I kept waiting for the connection to the story and or characters to happen but it just never did.
The writing was confusing at times, mostly toward the beginning. The transition into dialogue and who was speaking and or the point of the thought/conversation were muddled.

I am on a roll today apparently of writing reviews for books I DNFed and / or didn’t like, so let’s tackle another one, shall we? :) I did not have big expectations going into this one.. I’ve read some mixed reviews about it before I even started it, so I thought I was prepared… as it turns out, nope, I was not prepared at all… I finally gave up at 44% because of sooooo many reasons… I listened to the audiobook, and the phenomenal narrator is probably the main reason why I stayed with this story

Tijan is the one of my favorite NA authors. I am not always a fan of angst but Tijan always does it well. Hate to Love You had the perfect level of not too much and just enough. She also is great at writing unforgettable characters that you can't help but love. Shay and Kennedy are awesome. Kennedy is sarcastic, funny and such a strong heroine.

41% I'm out. I can't stand Kennedy, at all. I don't get the hate part in the non-relationship, I get she hates everyone and their brother but that's got nothing to do with Shay!?! I wish he would walk away and keep on walking instead of fighting for this whack job. 😱
It's not going to get any better so I'm giving up before I throw my Kindle. 😤

I'm really torn about this book. On one hand, I loved the beginning and I thought that Shay and Kennedy were amazing. But maybe a third of the way through, I just lost interest. I nearly stopped reading it altogether. And then, suddenly, it picked up again.
I also never figured out why Kennedy's brothers were such a big deal. Why did everyone seem to know them? Were they famous? Did they have a certain reputation? I have no idea. Kennedy didn't want anyone to know that she was related ...more

I have been binge reading the "Fallen Crest" series and when I was done....I didn't want it to be done ;). So I figured, why stop here, why not continue on my "Tijan" streak :P
Now I have to say... I really enjoyed reading "Hate to love you", but I am gonna be honest here and also say that, even though Kennedy and Shay were great, they were no Sam and Mason.
This is probably because Sam and Mason have like 7 books centered around them, so I got to know them really well and I came to see them as f ...more

Meh, it was alright. Tijan has written much better. I've read a lot of stud quarterback with strong willed girls before so nothing really new. I didn't feel much about Shay as he did not reveal much about himself until long into the book.
A point made is that when you go right to sex with a guy then that's all your focus and getting to know one another is secondary.

“When I see you’re hurting, I want to wipe it away. When I see you doubting yourself, I want to give you the best damned pep talk in history. When you cry, I want to make you smile. When you laugh, I want to make you laugh harder. When you moan in my arms, I want to make you dissolve into a puddle. When you’re insecure about how I feel about you, I want to replace that with a proclamation that I love you so hard that I never want you to question us again.”
