Harper
Love causes hurt, hurt causes hate.
I’ve learned this the hard way.
I fell for a guy who is made up of angry bones, a dark heart, and eyes that can see my soul.
One night changed everything.
Now when he looks into my heart, he pulls out the weakness and he uses it to his advantage.
He taunts me, breaks me down, and is trying to destroy my first year away at college.
So why can’t I stay away?
Why am I so drawn to the boy who used to be my friend—the guy who broke my heart, and the man who wants to destroy me?

Axel
All it took was one night for me to see Harper for what she really is—a fake. An imposter who cut me open, forced me to bare my soul, then tossed me aside without even sewing up my black heart.
She was the first girl to ever stir emotion inside of me.
It’s been a year, but I still feel the sting of what she did to me.
No matter how hard I try, I can’t escape her.
Now we are away at college and she thinks she’s still part of this group we’ve had since we were kids.
Little does she know, she’s been cut, and it’s her turn to feel the pain.

'Like Hate' is the third book of the 'Redwood High' series by Rachel Leigh. Told in dual perspectives , this book was absolutely amazing to all the levels!

The blurb of this book was so mind-blowing that this book became one of my most anticipated!! And the moment I got it on my kindle , I dived straight into this one! I have read the previous books , so I knew that Axel and Harper would be getting their own story soon!

The author did an amazing job of building up the hype for this book. I was so excited. Harper and Axel are explosive together! My heart broke with the misunderstandings they had with each other. So much pain could have been avoided if only they both talked for some time. They had a complicated history and had dated for some months in the past.

After Axel's mom died , he wanted to stay away from Harper. But she kept insisting on being with him so he pushed her away and he did that in a pretty rude way. That lead to Harper breaking up with him , which further lead to her being bullied by Axel for years for that. Axel's logic was sort of reasonable. Even though she didn't mean to break up with him , the evening his mother died. I like that the author went through the pain to giving us a few chapters from Axel's pov , it gave me a real good perspective to see things from his side.

Axel was a jerk . There is no excuse in that and he did horrible things to Harper. Said horrible things to her. I was so happy when after so much troubles these two finally somehow became civil toward each other and got their HEA! Axel hates that the one girl who hurt him is everywhere near him. So he makes it his mission to destroy her life! This book had some amazing twists and turns and had me at the edge of my seat for the whole time!

Recommended to all the dark gritty Romance lovers , who would love a healthy bully redemption Romance!
