Summary
It all started with an ad.
“House sitter needed for the summer, free room and board.”
Guess I missed the part about the cocky basketball player sleeping down the hall…
Finn Richards is hot, cruel, broken beyond repair. Oh, and did I mention hell-bent on making me quit?
Whatever. It’s not like his charms work on me, anyway. I’m immune to his cold, hazel eyes, and I’m not even a little bit curious about what really happened that night.
Who cares that I let him take my first kiss?
Who cares that I’d give him all of my firsts if he just asked?
It’s just two months. I can definitely go two months without giving him my heart, too…
Right?
Review
You can seem physically fine and be a complete mess inside.
Dear Heart, I Hate You is one of my most anticipated books of 2022. I kept checking my library to see if it was on my kindle yet. Even though I was impatient, I didn’t read it right away. I wanted to wait until the next day, so I had the whole day to read it. Well, that didn’t go as planned. After a few hours, I caved and began reading DHIHY. I knew then it was game over, and there was no way I was going to sleep until I finished reading. So I read Dear Heart, I Hate You straight with a few breaks in between until I finished around 3/4 AM. Even after I finished, I couldn’t sleep right away because I was still processing everything.
Diamond “Dia” and Finn were introduced in Dear Love, I Hate You. The glimpses had always made me wonder how they got to be where they are. And to think their relationship began one summer over an ad for a house sitter job.
Finn is broken. He’s on a path of self-destruction. Finn wants everyone to think that he’s a monster and heartless. But instead, he’s just a broken boy who doesn’t want to be hurt.
Dia is sassy and strong. She stands up for herself and doesn’t take Finn’s crap. Dia can see who Finn is, and she wants to save him.
Dia and Finn’s story couldn’t be contained in one book; instead, it’s split into two. Dear Heart, I Hate You is high school, and Dear Heart, I Miss You is college.
Luckily, the wait for Dear Heart, I Miss You isn’t that long. Three to four months will fly by. So unless something happens, anything from Eliah is worth the wait!
I’ve been a fan of Eliah Greenwood since her Wattpad days. To think that she isn’t that much older than me and is doing what she loves. Following one’s dreams is challenging but worthwhile. I hope Eliah’s works get enough exposure for her to continue writing.
