I can't say I was a popular girl in school (you see,I was the geek,the perfect student and that didn't exactly make me Miss Congeniality) but the discomfort I sometimes felt was nothing compared to the things Tate went through in Bully. Actually I am,after reading the first pages and witnessed the way Jared treated Tate,I couldn't imagine why she would ever want to be with him and what reason was enough to justify his actions. After that, he becomes Tate's bully, harassing her with every chance he got, and believe me it was not pretty. She’s beautiful and smart and at some point I would hope a few brave souls, excluding her one best friend, would question why she was being turned into a social pariah. This woman has been put through and endless cycle of mental and emotional abuse by the hands of her very own best friend turned bully of a neighbor.

But after all these years of pain and anger is there really a way to see Jared as her former best friend and accept the feelings that’s in the air? But after a few more chapters I realized that he was just messing with her and trying to make her “fight” against him so it would give him an excuse to be around her. 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.When I think about how I've started reading contemporary romance, the first book that pops in my head is Bully. Bully" was shallow, underdeveloped, and fetishizing a major social and societal problem in comparison.

What this book then became was a showdown between two beautiful people who clearly wanted to shag but decided the best kind of foreplay is that where they antagonize the hell out of each other.Read I think it’s quite likely got me back into reading Romance again after losing my way with it around 2014. and something about him made me desperate to find out what had happened to him to make him the way he was. Oh, and the only 'true friend' she does have is as shallow as they can get: people, I bring to you K.

The fury and the sadness over the injustice of the situation were overwhelming,but I could also feel giddy and fuzzy and the butterflies were dancing paso doble in my stomach!
