Love Between Enemies by Molly E. Lee
Did not finish book.
DNF'd at 25%
I couldn't read any more. I hated what Zoey was doing, so much so that I could not get onboard the ship.
There are LEVELS to being mean, ok?
Mean: giving a passive aggressive speech about someone at graduation
Downright NASTY: plotting to ruin someone's financial and academic future
I get that Zoey wants to do things on her own, but at the end of the day, if she doesn't get an internship or scholarship, guess what? Her parents can still pay for her to go to college. But just because she has that backup, doesn't mean other people do, and yet she seemed to assume that other people can afford college easily (despite there being a massive problem in the US with tuition fees and student loans). I understand she was mortified and hurt, but playing with Gordon's future took things way too far. It was too risky and immature. (Yes, yes, yes, Gordon can get student loans and work but he still doesn't have a nice comfy cushion like Zoey.)
Before anyone comes at me about her being a teenager and not perfect and I'm expecting too much from an adolescent girl. No. Go away. If she's so smart and has worked so hard, she should know better. I can understand wanting to get revenge, but then embarrass him back, not deliberately choose to take opportunities for him that she wants but he needs. And yes, I would feel the same if this was a guy doing the same thing to a girl.
Other reviews have said that this happens over the span of 24 hours. They've also said that Gordon apologises for hurting Zoey at graduation, and yet she still continues with her revenge plot. As such, I could not stomach reading any more about her behaviour and choices, and I could not believe at all that they'd end up ~in love~ the next day.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to Entangled for this opportunity and sorry this book and I didn't get on.
