Dare You To Hate Me by B. Celeste

challenging emotional funny hopeful inspiring sad medium-paced

4.0

 a bittersweet sad romance about new beginnings and reconciliation with old relationships. A beautiful story that embarks on finding oneself to find happiness.

“There are two types of strangers in the world—ones that you’ve never met before, and ones you share memories with.”

This somehow filled a void in my heart. An emotional story about survival, hope, and love. Escaping a toxic household and being on your own but being saddened by doing it, in the first place because realizing it's better to do so than stay. Setting boundaries and knowing your worth and having respect for yourself. A very raw type of discovery for a girl to have the courage to be on her own and find herself again.

“When you meet the right person, it doesn't matter what happens because fate will always bring you together. But it's your choices that will make them stay."

Sometimes friendships are a lifeline filled with love and care with the type of forever you want to have and this has the most comforting friends to lovers I've seen. An inspiring one with a big warm hug that everyone needs. Beautiful connections between the two characters with a great dynamic, full of passion, care, and patience.
