Loathing You
Hate. Detest. Despise. These words were the only way that Adaline and Juliette could possibly describe their relationship, or lack thereof.
Adaline would argue that this is because a certain she-devil has been making her life hell for the last five years. All for what? Because she was bisexual and wasn't born with a silver spoon, like every other student at Richmond academy?
Juliette doesn't need to argue, she is a Kingston, an heiress to a multimillion empire. Yet still the need to argue arises within her anytime she is near Adaline emery.
They were polar opposites, Juliette was ice and Adaline fire, where juliette was handed everything Adaline worked hard for everything. Where Adaline was an outcast, Juliette was the queen bee.
They only had one thing in common...they both loathed eachother.

~ ahhhhh 😭😭💗
i loved this couple so so much!! Juliette & Adaline are GEMS. the way i loved both of them, their dynamics which just perfectly suited them, the sick obsession they both shared for each other (which i always fall for), i LIVED for it. it was quite literally "i hate her so much but she's so pretty i wanna kill her but why do i have a fascination with her lips" and omg THIS DELIVERED. in every single bit, it delivered so well. i love how the power dynamics were so balanced with this one, and it didn't really tip the scales that much.
ngl, i can't believe this author is 19 YEARS OLD. 19, y'all. and she writes like this 😭 i love it.
Juliette and Adaline were so violent and passionate and all-consuming together, and I LOVED THAT. the way Juliette was literally touch her and you die when she herself didn't know why she was so obsessed with Adaline? lmao, i lived for that. all the protective and possessive moments the both of them had. their dynamics gave me L I F E.
the way they had these soft swoony moments while never letting that overtake their viciousness, all their passion? the way they truly connected even without all the sexual tension and attraction?? the way they fought with each other?? the jealousy?? i loved it. and let me tell you, i usually hate that type of jealousy, especially when one person has power over the other. but here, Adaline & Juliette just fit into that dynamic seamlessly. (think Savage Rivals but with two women - I LOVED IT 🥺)
the friend group both of them had was everything!! i wouldn't mind getting a story for each of them too, bcs Kai. Victoria. Aryan. LOVED THEM ALL!!
Juliette. she's homophobic. she's a bully. she's cruel and malicious and violent and harsh. but the thing is, she knew she was that, and yet became soft for Adaline and that's what i loved, that's what i'm ALWAYS such a sucker for. the way she protected Adaline?? taunted and pushed her to the brink. my heart hurt so much for her bcs she was so fucked up. so repressed. so unable to see what was right in front of her. but i also got it - she was conditioned into thinking that being anything other than straight was bad, especially after what her father did. but the internalised homophobia with her was done almost too well and i LOVED that!! i feel like this is one of the cases where that was done so well i can hardly believe how far she came from the start.
and let me tell you, if my bully behaved like that i would've folded in a second. 🤭
Adaline. the way she was so strong? how she stood up for herself? how she was so feisty? I LOVED HER. i honestly wanted to be her lmao, she was the queen. and i totally have a crush on Juliette so it checks out. 😌
i do have to point out some negatives, tho, which did hinder my enjoyment a bit.
first, the writing was definitely a little immature and repetitive. like, the "knees buckling" part is used so many times, as are some other phrases. it definitely didn't flow as smoothly as i thought it would, but then again i didn't mind all that much bcs the passion, the feeling in the writing? that was everything.
second,
but just please. the way ilovethemilovethemilovethem 🥺 gimme all the sweet adalinejuliette moments together, please.
thank you so so much, Aliki, for the recommendation!! 💗 i truly loved this so much and it was definitely one of the best ff romances i've read. <3
❝I don't want us to just be two bodies anymore, I want us to be two minds too. I want you to tell me.❞
❝Tell you what?❞ she whispers back, breathless.
I tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. It's now or never, Juliette. You can do this. ❝Tell me. Tell me everything. Tell me the most boring parts of your day that don't even interest you, tell me how you wake up in the morning and how you sleep at night. Tell me what scares you and what your deepest desires are. I want it all, all of your mind and all of your thoughts, give it all to me and only me…because I don't think I can breathe without it anymore.❞

She looks so pretty like this: hating me. So pretty that it infuriates me and I slam my hands against the door. She doesn't flinch, not even for a second.
❝Hate me, despise me, loathe me. I don't fucking care what you feel, as long as you only feel it for me.❞
I'll take whatever she gives me. I'll take her annoyance, her indignation, her fury and I'll take it all with a smile on my face. So long as she only gives it to me, because I don't think I can breathe without it anymore.

Adaline Emery is mine. Her mind. Her face. Her body. Every single thought, every single desire, and every single fear is mine. All of her, at all times, everything belongs to me and only me. She might be her own person, but she's my person too.
My girl.

❝I just want you to be able to do things you weren't able to do before,❞ I mumble against her neck as I tie the apron around her.
She turns around and stares at me as if I've hung the moon. ❝Softie,❞ she mumbles.
Only for her.

I am soaking in the feeling of having all her attention right now, with her hands violently tugging at me. She's reaching for me, even if it's to hurt me—she's still reaching for me and I can't get enough of it.
I ABSOLUTELY ADORED THIS BOOK. I was reading this in wattpad and as soon as it was published i ran to purchase it. I will try to write a coherent review because i want to express my feelings for this. It's one of my favourites (if not my favorite) sapphic read. (Still can't believe that the author is only 19 and it's her first book, she is amaziiing <3)
The plot
Juliette and Adeline hate each other. They are in the same highschool since they are 12 and now at their final year nothing changed. Juliette, the school's most famous and rich girl, has been bullying Adeline since the latter first came to school and was outed as a bisexual. Adeline the only poor one in a private school full of rich kids, doesn't take anyone's shit, and with her 2 best friends returns Juliette's behavour back to her every time. So what will happen when their professor basicaly forces Adeline to tutor Juliette?
The sentence in the beginning describe their relationship perfectly. They despise each other, but at the same time can't stay away from each other. They became addicted to this game their playing and to each other. THE ANGST that this book had, THE POSSESSIVENESS. Touch her and i will ruin your life, noone can mess with her other than me, all theseadorable, messed up stuff. I often find these lacking in sapphic romances, they are usually not the same as in straight and mm romances and i was really craving for a sapphic book like that (MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED).(Ok, maybe there are also other sapphic dark romances out there and i just haven't found them, i am open for recommendations :D)
Also, the smutt? OMG cheff's kiiiiss. Again, i always find the smutt very sweet and fluffyyy in sapphic books, which i am not saying i don't like, but i want to see a little rougher sex between women (again, open for book recommendations). There is not bdsm in this, bue the smutt is on the rougher part, all their hatred turned into passion which was so deliciouuus.
As much as i loved their fighting and their toxic parts, i loved their sweet and tender moments. When they turned weak for each other, opening up, pouring their past, their fears their feelings? I melted away like ice cream. I love them both so much they won me over (who am i kidding, they had me in a chockhold from the beginning)
The side characters were all so adorablee. I really don't have much to say about them, but each one of them was speciaal and has a place in my heart. Wouldn't mind for their stories as well ^^
TWs:
>homophobia - homophobic slurs
>bulllying
>violence
>mention of domestic abuse
>mention of parental neglect
>mention of alcoholism
>mention of suicide
>mention of death of loved ones
As you can see, most of the triggers i listed are just metioned, not detailed in the book, but i just wrote them in case someone is easily triggered by them. I believe the most important triggers are the homophobia, the slurs and the bullying. Although, i noticed that the slurs are a little bit toned down compared to the wattpad version (personally i am not bothered either way, but i understand how people might prefer it).
So to conclude, if you are interested in sapphics, morally grey characters, closeted gays that are homophobes and lash out on people they are attracted to, angst, possessiveness, a little bit of miscommunication (that adds to the angst), this book is for youu :D

Best sapphic dark romance I’ve read yet
I found Amina on tiktok by chance on a random night. It was a video teasing one of her chapters from this book. I was intrigued. I hopped onto Wattpad right away and devoured the chapters and caught up. I even subscribed on the app to avoid the ads so I could keep reading without interruptions. Every time she would update the chapters, I would get so excited. Nothing made me happier seeing a notification from Wattpad that “Loathing You” was updated. Fast forward to now. She made a post saying that she was publishing her book and though I am cheap, I wanted to buy this in ebook version to support her in any way I could and so I did. This book deserves that and much more. The depth and life she gave to the characters was simply enthralling. I loved reading Juliette’s and Addie’s story unfold. I loved the story shifting from hate from the girls to tolerance and finally to love. I love that Juliette is crazy and possessive and wants nothing but her girl. I love that Addie was also possessive but mainly- accepting of Juliette. I love the best friends they each had and how they all meshed. Loathing You will undoubtedly be one of my favorite sapphic romance books of all time. It was simply beautiful.

this wasn’t bad per say but it was DEFINITELY just a rip off of tryst six venom. it actually felt like i was reading the same book in a different font
April 14, 2025
2.5
I genuinely think this could have been a strong book—there’s a compelling story in there—but it really needed a solid editor. There were some glaring issues: grammar and spelling mistakes, formatting problems, repeated phrases, and noticeable plot inconsistencies.
And while it’s set at a private college near Oxford, it felt way too American. Everything from the characters’ dialogue to the school dynamics and social scenes read like something straight out of Gossip Girl, not a British college.
I do understand that the author is 19 and that this started off as a Wattpad story, so a professional editor might not have been an option. But in the age of Grammarly, spellcheck, and beta readers, there’s really no excuse for so many avoidable mistakes.
That said, there were things I genuinely appreciated. The cover is absolutely gorgeous, and I really liked that the cast of characters felt diverse—it’s always refreshing to see that kind of representation in a story like this. I don’t want to come across as overly harsh—it’s a debut, and there’s clear potential here. With more polish and attention to detail, this could have been a much stronger, more impactful read.

Noone is talking ab how this is a LITERAL copy cat of tryst six venom no joke same events same quotes everything

The writing was so juvenile and the characters were cartoonish and silly. They are so gorgeous, so smart, so rich, so bad… 🙄Everything was exaggerated that it became comically bad and cringey. Who would describe a kiss with someone they supposedly hate as “ the kiss was so unforgettable; so tender, like being wrapped up in the arms of an angel.”
The book reminded of Tryst Six Venom but terrible writing, awful character motivations/developments, no chemistry, barely any angst, and was overly repetitive. And for it being a bully romance there was barely any tension or stakes because they both were describing each other as beautiful or hot from the very beginning. I had to DNF at 54% because I couldn’t continue anymore. TikTok recommendation fail👎

Guilty as charge. I actually enjoy Tryst Six Vemon, one of the few bully romances in the sapphic fiction world. If you are in the right mood, it could be entertaining...
So yes, I am giddy to read this one. But I ended up disappointed and did not finish it. I feel like the author wants to push all the buttons and show all her cards at once just from the beginning. It was repetitive from chapter to chapter. I got bored

I was wrong. This book isn't as horrendous as when I read it back in 2023, but it still has a whole lot of issues that made me send someone a 20 minute audio.

"I just want to look at myself in the mirror and not feel ashamed. I just want to imagine my future life without being terrified of what my mother will think.
I just want to be me.
I sigh shakily, five years of repression flooding out of me at this very instant. “I'm a lesbian.”
Well... the beginning I will say I was enjoying, but I started dragging myself through it after a while. I liked the ending but I think the plot device to separate them was a bit unbelievable? Juliette could have just "broken up with her" without saying all those cruel things, it just felt like unnecessary pain, especially when a couple days later everything was forgiven and resolved. Also, the conflict with her mother hating queer people could have been expanded? We were led to believe that she would hate the idea of Juliette being a lesbian because of her ex-husband, and when that is revealed to her, they didn't have a conversation about it, in depth. She just wrote the letter to her, and resolved the issue and that was it.
I see the similarities between Tryst Six Venom, but ultimately it differed as the story went on.

“Adaline Emery is mine. Her mind. Her face. Her body. Every single thought, every single desire, and every single fear is mine. All of her, at all times, everything belongs to me and only me. She might be her own person, but she's my person too. My girl.”
“Hate me, despise me, loathe me. I don't fucking care what you feel, as long as you only feel it for me.”
“Tell me. Tell me everything. Tell me the most boring parts of your day that don't even interest you, tell me how you wake up in the morning and how you sleep at night. Tell me what scares you and what your deepest desires are. I want it all, all of your mind and all of your thoughts, give it all to me and only me…because I don't think I can breathe without it anymore.”
I genuinely do not care how awful Julliette was in this book in my eyes she’s the standard. This book was so good I never wanna forget it. Amina is such a talented author dude.

I want it all, all of your mind and all of your thoughts, give it all to me and only me…because I don't think I can breathe without it anymore.”
I genuinely do not care how awful Julliette was in this book in my eyes she’s the standard. This book was so good I never wanna forget it. Amina is such a talented author dude.

This is definitely one of my favorite books eveeer. The tension between Adaline and Juliette was sooo good I can’t even explain.
The growth that both of them had since the beginning till the end of the book was so beautiful. AND THE SPICE? OMG GIRL CHEFS FUCKING KISS

2.5 / 5 ✰
there is a hilarious amount of similarities between this book and Tryst Six Venom. however, I didnt like this book nearly as much as Tryst Six Venom. to me the characters just didnt have the same level of angst, tension and chemistry. Also i felt like i was being force fed views on topics at times, although i agreed with the sentiment of the views they just felt out of place and like the author was just bluntly interjecting them in. it really took me out of the story at times and made me feel like i was reading a children's book.

I really thought the premise of this book was good, but the writing was so poor.

Holy Cow
This book was ALOT and I loved every word. I will be sure to read this one again but first I have to process the first time.
