I Hate You, Fuller James

Written by Kelly Anne Blount

Narrated by Carly Robins and James Fouhey

I hate you, Fuller James.

I hate your floppy hair and your lopsided grin and those laughing blue eyes that always seem to be laughing at me.

I hate that you're the most popular guy in school and I'm still the girl who sneezed and spit out her retainer on someone at a middle school dance. It's just such a cliche.

I hate that I'm being forced to tutor you in English and keep it a secret from everyone. Because otherwise it might put our basketball team's chances at winning State in jeopardy, and even though I hate you, I love basketball.

I hate that it seems like you're keeping a secret from me . . . and that the more time we spend together, the less I feel like I'm on solid ground. Because I'm starting to realize there's so much more to you than meets the eye. Underneath it all, you're real.

But what I hate most is that I really don't hate you at all.

Reviews for I Hate You, Fuller James

[Malcolm and Amber Homeyer · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Could be cute if it were more appropriate and wasn't sprinkled with random woke propaganda.

[Antwanique Williams · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This book was beautiful and heartfelt so amazing I strongly recommend

[Claire Greco · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

To be honest, this book was nothing like I expected it to be based off the review. HOWEVER— I’m very picky about my romance reads and was very disappointed in this book. The plot was very brief and easily amendable (in the terms of resulting in no conflict what-so-ever). Once Fuller backed out of his dilemma, there was no reason he could not have been upfront. Even Wren knew she wasn’t supposed to tell anyone… she would have understood. Yet after Fuller kept it to himself, I knew exactly where it was going. Also the main characters had important family members that were brought up multiple times and meant so much to the main characters— yet we rarely saw them and there was no background. There was absolutely no reasoning behind the antagonist either. Like we know that she is her ex-best friend and became popular but she rarely showed up and there truly was barely any background on her either. For 28 chapters this story could have gone a great length deeper into characters, plots, and climax points through the story. I feel as though the author came up with a story line and did the bare minimum to bring the story to life. If you like cliche and quick-read romance stories while you’re working out, going grocery shopping, etc., this could definitely be for you. But if you like to actually connect with the characters and feel as though you’re in the story, I would not recommend.

Very lighthearted and fun YA story!! Would highly recommend for people who are looking for a fast paced story.
