Calla and Knox broke my heart. He hurts her every single moment and she suffers mentally and physically with each word or smirk. Best friends until he turns cold and angry: she is isolated at school because of his words and she can’t talk to her parents. Kate Love evokes their emotions, their pain, and the toll it takes on them in a beautifully poignant coming of age story. I’m so thrilled to have experienced part of their journey and maybe see them again!! The intensity between them is amazing, their love is palpable, and their commitment to be better to themselves and each other is truly inspiring. I love the way they grew from enemies to lovers and their steamy scenes are scorching! 5🌟 for spice and storyline!!.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I enjoyed the book there wasn't that much bullying in it apart from the beginning then suddenly everything was ok between them. there was no grovelling or anything she just forgave him instantly.

MMC is so unserious for bullying the FMC and making her life miserable for years just because she had a lil crush on someone else 🤣
