Dear Heart, I Hate You by Eliah Greenwood

rolatarek's review against another edition

5.0

I picked this up on a whim because I remembered that I enjoyed the first book when I had covid and needed a similar drama-filled high school/college setting romance but HOLY SHIT this might be one of my favorite reads of the year.
The potential to spoil the many plots of this book is overwhelming, so I’ll keep this about the characters.
Dia was such a sweet seemingly innocent character until we got to REALLY delve into her and that extra bit? she ate and absolutely left no crumbs. She was fierce till the last freaking minute as she should. Her relationship with her parents, her brother, and her friends really added richness to the book and provided just the right amount of drama to get you hooked.
FINN HAD ME BY A CHOKEHOLD mister Finn really said let me raise the bar to astronomical heights, and that’s exactly what he did. A traumatized, deeply complex character that kept me on my TOES throughout the book hoping that his pain would go away somehow. His plotline makes you think about the consequences of everything you do, and how sometimes the guilt resulting from them paralyzes you for life.
The book ends on a cliffhanger so horrifying I stayed up till 4am last night to finish the second book but concerning this one, an absolute MASTERPIECE.

Auch der zweite Teil dieser Reihe hat mich von vorne bis hinten von sich überzeugt! Es war fast noch fesselnder, auf jeden Fall noch intensiver und einfach wieder so kurzweilig dieses Buch zu lesen… und dieser Cliffhanger!! Ich bin so gespannt auf den dritten Teil!

Puh, wie soll ich es sagen?! Dear heart I hate you ist intense 😂
Also ich kann die Reihe einfach nicht weglegen und bin so on fire 🔥 Besonders das Ende 🤯

Enemies to lovers, dual pov und n morally grey bad boy wie er im Bilderbuch steht (Sag man das so?!😂). Was will man mehr? 😂 
Also im Vergleich zum ersten Buch ist Dear heart I hate you deutlich düsterer und versauter. Never judge a book by its cover trifft es hier ganz gut. So strahlend und glitzernd ist der Inhalt definitiv nicht 😂
Aber auch hier definitiv nix für schwache Nerven, da es schon krass her geht.

Dia ist einfach ein herzensguter Mensch 💖, was ihr definitiv zum Verhängnis wird. Bissl naiv, aber ich wäre safe auch so dumm 😬🙌🏻

Finn ist ein ganz wilder Charakter. 
Beliebter Sportler, stinkreich und anfangs echt ne kleine Bitch. War doch sehr erstaunt wie abgefuckt er dann doch ist. 😦

Reicht dann auch für die Review, muss Teil 3 sofort starten.

Das Buch ist sehr wild und auch sehr cringe, aber es liest sich sehr schnell.
Irgendwo auch fun

Finn ist ja mal sehr lost und auch ein bisschen zu wild dür einen 18jährigen.
Dia ist so weird und am Anfang auch ein bisschen übergriffig und respektlos gegenüber Finns Privatsphäre.
Auch irgendwo die toxischen vibes und die haben weirden sex für 18jährige.
