I loved reading how much he wanted her. And of course, I loved reading all the intense, hot moments. The chemistry was so intense and the sex scenes were even hotter than in Bully!!

But I loved this story. I love Jared and Tate. I look forward to more from them. Penelope Douglas is an outstanding writer and I look forward to more from her also. In fact, I might have to bully her to write faster...

I stood up straight, ready to just forget about it and go make myself something to eat. My mom probably wasn’t cooking tonight. i enjoyed this book better than the original first book. i would have jumped straight into this one had i known it existed prior to my reading of bully. there are more characters. tate’s dad being my most favorite one even though he only appears briefly. i also think the characters’ development is better in this one. more things are also happening in this book. it still have some key events from tate’s book that are now being shown through jared’s pov. sometimes those scenes feel repetitive and pointless bcs jared’s either thinking about antagonizing tate or having “sexual” reactions bcs of her. i really like the additional scenes, the ones that have no involvement of tate. last but not least, this book is definitely a whole lot steamier compare to the first one. From BookTok sensation and New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas comes a riveting companion novel to BULLY. This is Jared’s story . . . Early morning: Some people find that reading in the morning helps them start their day with a positive and productive mindset. But I stay quiet, because quiet is how he likes his kids. If he gets what he wants, maybe he’ll let my brother out. He has to be freezing in there, and I don’t know if he has enough air. How long can someone survive in a freezer? Maybe he’s already dead.

Until You: An unforgettable friends-to-enemies-to-lovers

At least Jax listens,” he grits out, and my stomach shakes from the nausea. “Isn’t that right, Jax?” he yells over his shoulder. When I hated Tate, my world got small. I didn't see all the other shit. My mum, my dad, or my brother in foster care, I loved hating her I ran my fingers down her face, feeling the soft skin and never wanting to be more than two feet away from this girl. Leaning in, I felt her breath shake against my lips as I whispered.Yes, bullying is bad, bullying is awful, yadda, yadda, yadda... [Insert valid and thought provoking social commentary here]...

Obviously this was a re-telling of Bully, I get that. And I really didn't feel like it was the exact same story but it still seemed to be the same thing over and over again. If anything, "Until You" is worse in quality than "Bully." "Bully," to its credit was compulsively readable in places, and Tate's perspective made some turns of it tolerable. This read slow, tedious, and didn't have a sympathetic eye to Jared's perspective point really at all. He's pretty much a possessive, violent control freak with moments of nearly raping Tatum, but yet has the gall to not equate himself with "assholes" who harrass women. Being in Jared's head felt like a poison that I couldn't get out fast enough from. He's worse than Travis Maddox in my opinion. I hate saying that because pretty much in the scheme of New Adult, Travis Maddox (hero from Jamie McGuire's "Beautiful" series) is the template go-to guy for abusive alpha males who are violent, misogynstic jerks who have messed up pasts supposedly. (Only, to be blunt, Travis really doesn't have such a messed up past - he lost his mom and then basically has this abrasive personality all on his own, so...)Or that I could hear Alice in Chains coming from her bedroom? At least I think it was her bedroom. The curtains were closed. Becoming hard at heart isn't an intersection in your brain where you have a choice to turn left or right. It's coming to a dead end, and you just keep going, over the cliff, unable to stop the inevitable, because the truth is you just don't want to. But there are scenes we weren't privy to in Bully and way more important info we weren't given before that we do get in this book. Ergo... Holy shit 2 down 3 to go!! "Falls of chair" ekkkk I didn't realise there were FIVE books in this series..

Until You Quotes by Penelope Douglas - Goodreads Until You Quotes by Penelope Douglas - Goodreads

My eyes hadn’t left hers, but the trance was broken and I was finally able to let out a breath. “See you in a year, Tatum,” I bit out, hoping it sounded like a threat.other than persistently being on the move to plot tate’s demise, being in jared’s head also feels like seeing inside the brain of a horny twelve year old who’s just found his first sport illustrated magazine. he keeps making comments about tate’s hair, eyes, “athletic” body, the clothes she wears, and pointing out how all those things get him hard. on a brighter note, i really love all of the interactions he has with tate’s dad, his brother jaxon, and his mother. his father can go to hell!! i’m also less annoyed with his friendship with madoc. the whole ordeal with kc, that’s still my most disliked thing about him. oh and the speech at the end of the book, that’s nice. I'm glad I read this book because sooo much is explained and clarified and things I thought were a douche bag move actually want. And in truth, so was I. My head was still swimming from the liquor I’d tried drowning in the night before, but there was no way I could sit around all day with nothing but my thoughts keeping me company. Why did you do that?” she complained behind me. “I know how to climb trees. You scared me, and that’s why I almost fell.” Her lips were turned down at the corners, and I didn’t know why she was so sad. All I knew was that I didn’t want to go anywhere until she felt better.
