About this deal

This explosively romantic series by the New York Times bestselling author of Bully is redefining what it means to fall in love, hard.

When one brave young woman stands up to her best friend Jared, now tormentor, the consequences go beyond anything either of them ever would have imagined. Even after everything he'd done, part of me still missed that boy who was my waking thought and constant companion as a kid.Jared could push me, hurt me, take what he wanted, but showing him that he had hurt, but not broken me, was how I won. C are heading to seen as Tate has decided to take a year out of studies and head off the France, bit like a foreign exchange programme. He had seriously wronged her (regardless of his reasons) and she made him work to earn her forgiveness. Being inside her head was like waging a war against every other female because of the things they wore, the things they said, and the guys they were with. Der tatsächlichen Problematik von Mobbing unter Heranwachsenden und seinen Auswirkungen auf die Betroffenen kann dieser Roman sicher nur bedingt gerecht werden.

And while I felt Tate's character was well fleshed out, richly developed and multilayered, the rest of the cast of characters, including Jared, for me at least, seem at times one-dimensional. They walk around with their breasts bulging out, drooling over men who only love the marvellous Tate (who is, naturally, above all this breast-bulging, drooling business). I honestly thought it would be a better read than it actually was - it wasn't terrible in the beginning, but at the same time, as it went on, it glorifies and romanticizes bullying to no end. Of course she just had to be one of those “I’m gorgeous but I don’t know it” characters for this story to get anywhere.

Granted, I know the lot of us have different coping points and thresholds for forgiveness, but this narrative asked me one too many times to overlook some jarring conflicts in an attempt to see how the leading love interests "get together. She managed to capture his conflict in subtle ways that were just strong enough to keep you guessing at his real motivations behind his actions. They have a very distinctive style that's very soap opera-y and edgy and kind of feels like a bird's eye view into what it's like living in a small midwestern town. Granted, "The DUFF" is YA, and this is NA, but at the same time - that felt more real of a story than this one and truly had something to say about its characters and the issues/conflicts it presented. I knew that his past was no excuse for his behaviour yet I wanted him to have that happy ending and end up with Tate.
