Hate to Love You (Baker’s Bunch Book 1) by Lily Ryan – Review by Maura Harper

Hate to Love You by Lily Ryan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

HATE TO LOVE YOU is the first book I’ve read by this author and I will be reading future books in this series.

This is one of those stories that was so frustrating to read because of the immaturity of the female protagonist UNTIL I remembered that she is only a senior in high school who has had a crush on her brother’s best friend forever and it makes total sense that she acts the way she does. Poor kid has no life experience.

This was a quick read with characters who are fully developed and a story that was well plotted from beginning to end. While the story was predictable at times, there were still some things that were fresh to the genre. The accountability the brother takes for the mistakes he’s made and how he came to be where he is in life. REFRESHING!!! Also, there is a conversation regarding #metoo and I’m super hopeful that this is actually happening in the real world peer to peer.

I absolutely am looking forward to getting to know more about Abby and Zane in future stories.
