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.
