I've always heard there's a fine line between love and hate.
No one told me that line could destroy me.

King of the school.

The object of my fantasies.

My Review
ღ 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗢𝗬 𝗜 𝗢𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗛𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗗 ღ
Is the first full length romance book in the 'Love and Hate' duet by authors C.R. Jane & Ivy Fox. Spoken in 'dual perspectives.' Ends on a cliffy.
This started me off on an emotional journey and didn't let me out of its grasp until that very last page. I cried for the boy who loved his mother wholeheartedly and felt the whole blindsided way with a new family moving into his territory. How my heart ached for him.
Imagine losing a parent and what felt like within a blink of an eye the father has moved on, ready to remarry, and along with this new person in his father's life she brings two daughters into the equation.
All the girls wanted to be with him and all the boys wanted to be him, he was king of the school. When these two first met Noah had it out for her, making school life a living hell for her, reigning all the angst he could on her head, '𝑰'𝒎 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝑰 𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒅 𝒖𝒑 𝒃𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒏 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒕𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝑰 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒐𝒏 𝒊𝒕, 𝑰'𝒎 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒚 𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒎𝒚 𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒕𝒐𝒑 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒂𝒎𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈' but funnily enough he was always there to save her when it mattered. His hatred was toxic, but even though I wanted to hate him at times that young boy that had lost something so dear to him would reel me back in again.
As soon as he set his sights on Skylar it was game over.
Skylar's head was always in the clouds, a introvert preferring to stay with her fictional characters than spend anytime with her peers. ' 𝑴𝒚 𝒏𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒔𝒕𝒖𝒄𝒌 𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝒃𝒐𝒐𝒌, 𝒐𝒓 𝒊𝒏 𝒎𝒚 𝒍𝒂𝒑𝒕𝒐𝒑 𝒘𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒖𝒑 𝒂 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒎. 𝑻𝒐 𝒔𝒂𝒚 𝑰'𝒎 𝒔𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒂𝒘𝒌𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒏 𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕.' She was the polar opposite to her sister Daisy (please let us have her book) she was the popular sister, the outspoken sister and always in Sylar's corner. Skylar felt like an outcast even in her own family.
When these two come together, it combusts, the push and pull gets suspended w=and what's in its place is love in it's most purest form.
This book threw everything at us readers and I for one can not wait for the next book because how this ended has left a hole in my heart.
