I voluntarily received an advance review copy of this book and chose to review it.

I love Tijan. She is undoubtedly one of my favourite authors. Having said that, I found Hate to Love You a bit hard to get into. I felt it started in the middle and never really explained what happened at the start. Kennedy and her brothers weren't ever really explained, or their relationships and why they caused her trouble. In fact, I had a really hard time trying to get a read on Kennedy. At times she was shy, then angry, then scared and shuffled through them on a dime.
I did like Shay, even if, again, we don't really find out too much about him. I assume this is to replicate his and Kennedy's relationship, but as a reader it makes it hard to relate to the character.
I also found some of the plot points a bit strange. All the stuff with at the end kind of came out of nowhere for me. I would have liked to have seen some more, and bigger, hints at it throughout the book.
I did like the friendship between Kennedy, Katrina and Casey though and Linde was awesome.
I felt the underlying message in the book was great, but I did feel it could've been tightened up a lot more.
A good read though.
