I Hate You is a FANTASTIC new standalone from Ilsa Madden-Mills. I completely fell in love with this story. It is full of romance, steamy, a hilarious parrot, and so much more. This book is a MUST READ.

Charisma is my favorite type of heroine. She is smart and sassy! I loved that girl from the start. Not only is she smart and sassy, but she is also strong and not afraid to speak her mind and to stand out in the crowd. I love that she isn’t the typical sorority girl. She has rules. No kissing. After being played by a girl in high school she hasn’t let anyone close since. But will the star football player be able to knock down her walls?

Blaze is so much more than a cocky jock. The man has a heart of gold, he has experienced pain and loss and it is safer to close himself off and focus on one thing. Football. He was afraid of anyone getting to close, especially Charisma, so he let her go. Let her hate him for ending things.

I LOVED these two. Charisma and Blaze’s chemistry is off the charts. I loved their banter, their friendship, and the way they supported one another. Of course, it wasn’t an easy ride but it was beautiful, heartbreaking and everything I could have ever hoped for.

This book had me laughing, crying, swooning and everything inbetween. It is an AMAZING story and one that I know I will be rereading again in the future.
