It’s no surprise to me that JR Rogue writes poetry as well as her stories. They come out just like poetry. I Like You, I Love Her was beautifully written with a flow and passion that is incomparable. This book is so full of feelings and heart. I love the way it portrayed the high school days and it was so relatable. ILY, ILH was so full of heartbreak and angst that only those high school days can really encompass. This is one of those books that I know is going to end up on my top reads list of the year. 

I really only want to say a few key things on this story. I would not call this a cheating story even though that title really makes you feel like it is… it isn’t. It definitely rides the line. ILY, ILH will immerse you into the story. There’s so much that leaves you feeling frustrated and desperate… it’s overwhelming… that’s how I would describe this story… overwhelming. This is not an easy story. This is not one that will make you sigh with happiness… with contentment. But you will feel it and you won’t be able to stop looking at this gorgeous train wreck.

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.
 


SYNOPSIS

In a lot of ways, I was one of the lucky ones. My high school crush liked me back. It should have been magic and fire, but it was tragic and brutal. I wrote it that way, anyways.

His name was Bryan Winthrop. He was our high school basketball star. The prom king. The most beautiful boy I had ever laid eyes on. He liked me — the theatre geek who never should have caught his eye — but he loved her.

It’s been more than 10 years since the homecoming dance. Since the night he kissed me, breaking both of our hearts for the first time.

After the scandal, after graduation, I left our small town and made a name for myself on Broadway, then in Hollywood. I didn’t mean for the play I wrote about our high school affair to blow up. I didn’t mean for it to reach all the way back to my roots, wreaking havoc, wrecking families.

Bryan Winthrop and I were not friends, not lovers.

But I’m back. And for one summer — if she lets us — maybe we can be.
