annarella 's review for:

A Love Hate Thing by Whitney D. Grandison
4.0

This happens when you take you sweet time to read a book because you think it's due on a certain date and then you note you wrote the wrong date in your calendar.
That said I enjoyed this book. I don't usually read YA romances and I am happy I read this one because it's a good story with a cast of interesting characters and a great character development.
Trice and Nandy are two interesting characters. I appreciated Trice integrity and how well he handle the fact of moving to a posh neighbourhood and being able to handle the different type of persons he meets.
Nandy is the character with the most interesting ARC as she goes from being a snob and pampered girl to being a more mature and positive person.
I appreciated the diversity as much as I like how the writer faces issues like stereotypes, peer pressure, the importance of the image. I also liked how she describes the life of the rich children in a posh neighbourhood.
The romance is sweet and I liked how Trice and Nandy change the way they feel toward each other.
The cast of characters is well written, some are more interesting and some are more bi-dimensional.
I liked the description of the setting and the style of writing.
It was an interesting read, recommended.
Many thanks to Inkyard Press and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
