Adorable
At the beginning, I was really concerned on how this would turn out. Usually romances like this don’t get written well and are poorly executed. However, this was not the case for I Hate You, Fuller James.
Everything about this story was adorable and funny. I laughed out loud and some tears came out at different parts. It was well written and brought a brightness to my day.

Quick, cute read that shows you don’t always know who people truly are and how people can change as they grow… you never know what’s waiting for you when you get to know people.

I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Honestly, I Hate You, Fuller James was kind of cute. In it you will meet Fuller and Wren. The whole plot seemed like something you've probably already read or watched on TV. So, it wasn't that surprising with what happened within it. I mean, these two were kind of cute together and they had some cute scenes too.
I just.. I felt like things were kind of repetitive throughout the book which was annoying. Other than that, not much drama within this book either. Yes, it will have some bullying.. but it was okay. I just feel like I've read a ton of bully romances so this was just tame to me.
Other than that, this was very predictable and had a cute ending.

Kelly Anne Blount’s I Hate You, Fuller James is the perfect blend of witty and sweet. It’s fast-paced, surprisingly empathetic, and is begging to be made into a movie.
Wren Carter hates Fuller James. She’s hated him ever since he embarrassed her at the seventh grade dance and dubbed her “Wrentainer.” Wren also finds it kind of annoying that Fuller just so happens to be devastatingly handsome and an amazing basketball player. On the other hand, Fuller James needs help. Badly. He’s failing out of AP Lit, and desperately needs a tutor. He also feels guilty about how he’s treated Wren. As they are forced to work together, Wren and Fuller begin to get to really know each other, and realize that they connect in ways they wouldn’t have suspected. But can their blooming relationship survive all of the high school drama?
I love the way that Blount slowly builds the relationship between Wren and Fuller. They go from enemies to frenemies; from frenemies to friends; and from friends to something more. You go through the journey with the characters and can see how they grow both individually and collectively throughout the narrative arc. In the beginning, there are elements of bullying, but it never veers into over-the-top cruelty. I Hate You, Fuller James isn’t overtly explicit in its content or its language, which some readers will undoubtedly find refreshing. It’s a delightful addition to this genre, and a safe read for a variety of ages.
Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
