I’ve never hated anyone as much as I hate him.

The day my sister died, I told her best friend I never wanted to see him again, and I meant it.

I lost her because of him. Everything I used to care about means nothing now because of him.

It’s all because of him.

So when he shows up on my driveway two years later and tells me he’s moving in with me for his freshman year of college, I kick his ass and tell him to disappear. For good this time.

But I already know the defiant little brat’s not gonna listen. He never does.

Being near him again makes me crazy. I’m supposed to be the college basketball star my father raised me to be, but now I’m focused on a new game. I’m obsessed with watching him, touching him, breaking him. His body, his head, his heart, anything I can get my hands on…

I’m gonna take it all until he’s got nothing left.

And even though he knows exactly what I’m doing to him, he’s gonna let me do it anyway.

Like You Hate Me

I loved this book, the tension, the backstory, the writing style, the characters, all of it

The enemies to lovers were exactly how I wanted it to be, the hate Nate had for Xavi in the beginning was intense and I was all for it, I enjoyed the deep hate that slowly turned to love 

I related a lot to Xavi's character, his thoughts, guilt and need for love from the one person who hates him

2.25/5

I’m too lazy to write a proper review so I will just pour all the thoughts I still have on my mind about this book.

I was eating it up at the beginning but after that it lost its appeal to me. Too many repetitions. It was just them banging, argument, banging, some sad scene, banging, arguing etc. 

I liked the writing style so it was easy to finish, but there were too many smut scenes that felt flat after the first three. I started skipping them as I personally don’t like books full of smut. This may not be an issue for everyone, but once they did it at like twenty-five percent of the book, all the tension sort of disappeared. Honestly, I felt like the book would have been at least half as long if all the smut scenes were gone. 

In the house they lived in, almost everyone seemed horny 24/7. 

I lost it when Nate started dirty talking on his sister’s grave. 

I actually liked Xavi. He was such a heartbroken character. I just wanted to give him a big hug. I genuinely don’t understand how he could deal with Nate being so toxic to him. I could never.

I don’t know even what to say about Nate. I understand his reasoning for being a total douchebag, as he was grieving and his family was shitty, but if I saw him on a street I would definitely walk the other way. He could be nice when he wanted though. 

I can’t believe how they could fall in love. They were just thinking with their dicks. 

I can’t envision them being together after the epilogue. I wish but I just can’t. 

Frankie and the cheerleader? I want their book.

Nate & Xavi are so perfect for each other my favourite parts were definitely the moments where nate was gentle & soft with xavi :( 
especially the scene at katy’s graveyard where Xavi hugs Nate ?!!!!

— p.s. I have never found the endearment “baby” so non-cringe & adorable as this book made it seem like.
