I Hate You, I Love You Part 1 An Enemies to Lovers Romance

I will have to admit, this book took me a little bit to get used to. It had nothing to do with the writing style, which was fantastic, but rather was because it was broken up the way that it was. I struggle with that because I want to get to the good stuff. Had this blurb not drew me in, I am not sure I would have read this. However, even though, I prefer my books to be told in the present and then have flashbacks worked in, that still doesn't take away from the fact that this was a great book and that I am glad that I took the chance.

Logan broke my heart. His life and what he has endured. Holy hell. Give him some happy things and all the unicorns, and ice-cream that he can want to make up for what he had experienced. Danika. The love of this girl was beautiful. The connection between these characters was poignant especially for how young they were.

I had a lot of moments that I wished that this book had the present moments mixed in, just because I wanted to see where they were. I can only imagine that the next book will be painful in its own way but also beautiful as these two characters get to where they were destined to be.

Was a very good book, but does discuss issues of sexual/emotional/physical abuse. The relationship between the two characters and all that they go through before finally finding someone to connect to is very sad, but leaves you with positive thoughts and hope. Can't wait to read the next book.

This is a good story dealing with various difficult issues with flawed and broken characters. Part 1 gives the reader the backstory into the characters that has resulted in the people they are today. Logan has experienced various horrors in his childhood leaving him to be withdrawn and angry. Danika is sweet and witty. It is her kindness that affects Logan the most. Terrified she will reveal his past horrors is what results in the enemies to lover aspect of their relationship.

Do you all remember that series Paper Princess? Yes. This is like that.
It should have trigger warnings for: suicide, cutting, alcohol, drugs, attempted rape, child molestation ref, parental abuse, abortion talk, and prob a few I am missing.
This book in short is F'd up. There is a lot. Yes it has romance and sweet moments but it has a lot of messed up pieces. If you can handle those it's a short read and part 1 of 2. So it does end on a cliffhanger. Just go in knowing what you should expect and you can def read this.

4.5 Stars

Finally a book to get me over my reading funk! This is the book I have been wanting since I read 'Beautifully Broken'. I love Logan. I can't wait until the next one. Thank you [author:Bailey B.|15235895] for writing great stories!

I definitely recommend it. I wish I can read the next book!! I can't wait to see what will happen to them, since Danika is now pregnant! What! BUT the question is...... what happened to the baby, did she decided to give the baby away or keep it? I love the writing style of Bailey! She's a new author but her technique and choice of words is stellar.

What I thought would be a high school bully romance turned out to be so much more. Logan and Danika were best friends until Danika moved. After three years Danika returns, and Logan isn’t welcoming. But Danika is determined to get her old friend back. As the story continues you learn more about there sad past. This is part 1, so it did end on a cliffhanger. And it can’t come soon enough, I want to know what happens!

Danika has just moved back to her hometown after being away for three years in California. She moved so that her mom could gain cancer treatment, sadly, she passed away. So her dad has decided that they should move back. Not only is Danika the 'kind of' new kid at school but she has moved in next door to her old friend Logan. Although he seems to have changed quite a bit since she last saw him.

Logan has toughened up from the loner he was at middle school. Standing for no crap and gaining the attention of almost all the girls, not that he is looking for anything serious. Melody might want to call herself his girlfriend but that is in name only, she is certainly not getting any of the benefits of being his girl. Then in walks Danika, a blast from his past and decides to play it cool and pretend not to remember her.

A hate/love relationship that they each secretly want but too afraid to show the other. Somehow they manage to overcome the high school drama that seems to follow them both and they are soon no longer able to resist. But that doesn't mean that they are now on an easy path to love - the ending is open ready for the second book!

**Trigger warning - self-harm, drug use, sexual assault and grooming references are talked about throughout the book**

Thank you very much to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me this ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.
I am a huge romance lover and I have read a lot of romance. Now, it takes a lot for me to be completely impressed with a book because I have read a lot of bad romance novels and some really good ones too. I really love the enemies to lovers trope so I knew I was definitely going to like something about the book, but I don’t just like the book, I was completely blown away.
This book got me feeling things in my belly. I loved Logan and Danika as characters. Bailey B did a really good job bringing them to life. They were believable and real. I loved how their relationship progressed and how each of them developed in the book. I can’t wait for part 2 of this book. I love cliffhangers but I hate them also. It’s a love-hate relationship really. I am definitely reading Bailey B other books.

Thank you for the free copy from NetGalley for exchange for a honest review. I thought this book was a stand alone though you can still read it didn’t take away from the story. I love these two characters Logan and Danika, I love reading there journey. They have both been through so much the author has you feeling for both of them it tug’s at your heart. A great 5 star read


Happy Reading

If you haven't read Beautifully Broken yet, I would recommend that you read that one first. When you meet Logan there, you can't but help to wonder what is his story. And in Part 1 of I Hate You, I Love You Bailey B will leave you torn, crying and utterly in love with Logan.
And let's not forget about Danika. She is the missing piece of Logan's puzzle and you can't help but root for them. Unfortunately, the story ends on a cliffhanger so now we have to wait for part two.
I Hate You and I Love You Bailey B! Five out of five stars from me and awaiting the second part of this duology with a special thanks to Netgalley for providing the arc.

I Hate you, I Love you Part 1 by Bailey B five heart-breaking star read. This is number two in the Broken Love series and it was so good I immediately pre-ordered part 2, before I was even halfway through this one. I adored the first novel in the series and was worried that the author wouldn’t be able to keep the angst and drama level so high, while still having a good story, usually I find the favour one over the other, but wow this author manages it so well, considering these are their first few works that shows real talent. I love coming across an author like this as they have a refreshing voice that is really good. I was umming and arring about if I should read this one or wait for number two to drop and I read it, but was so consumed by it its taken me almost a week to sit and write this review, I didn’t want to just sit and write what I enjoyed as I couldn’t put in to words how emotionally gripping this story was, it could be written as a bunch of teenage drama, but there is a realness and a great depth to the characters, that make them wise beyond their years and I will be honest when I read the first story I wasn’t a huge fan of the main character in this story Logan was someone I kinda wanted to throat punch, he just irritated me, but then we got to know the real Logan and not the façade he shows to the world and no more throat punching feelings, just gratitude and honour that he was so strong. Now stop reading and go pick up this amazing story and then pick up the next one and whatever else this author comes up with as I am sure there will be many great stories to come.

I didn't think it was going to happen but I got hooked into this story. It had so many different elements, one moment your riding high the next your swinging down so far wondering what just happened. It was a journey reading this story about Logan and Danika. They went through so much together but I feel like they were meant to be together, their souls were meant to see each other again.

Again there was so much happening and without giving too much away, there were different types of abuse, there were strong bonds explored, there were a number of firsts, there were some mean kids, some tragedy but overcoming all of that there was love. Love between two people who found each other again and who needed each other. It was beautiful and raw and real. Things happen but it's how you handle them or find the people who can help you get through them together that makes you the stronger person. There is never anything wrong with asking for help or seeking it out.ee r

I loved this book and didn't want it to end because I just needed to know what was going to happen next, so you know I'm jumping into that second book asap.

All the characters were good and relatable and understanding. The story was great, so much is happening you couldn't help but feel for them both. But I have so many unanswered questions that there is definitely a need to finish their story. Can't wait!

I adored this book. This was my first time reading from this author and i absolutely loved it. Enemies to lovers is my fave trope and this is definitely one of my faves I’ve read
