Review: A traditional romance, but written and plotted in a very unconventional way! <3

If you're looking for a traditional romance that is however very unconventional, then crazy this novel is for you! I read most of it in a day and that's coming from a reader who takes 3-6 days to finish a normal novel.See, Elise Alden gave me a tonne of reasons to hate Paisley, the main character, and a few even to hate James, the love interest but what can I say? I really appreciate and tip my hat to her as the author for daring to make leading characters have qualities that other authors shy away from, instead making characteristics to enhance likeability. I think inside we all want to do nasty things, think them at least, and maybe even do some them in our lives. For this reason, I completely connected with Paisley. If you're looking for a sweet, innocent, heroic and selfless main character you'd be approaching this book the wrong way. This book, in my opinion, does become selfless but it is a wild friggin ride along the way to get there.Poor Paisley has a few nasty works of art in her life, in her parents and sister. I couldn't help but expect the teenager she turned into given how they treated her growing up.James is so proper and British and upstanding ... but Paisley is a dirty little girl who knows how to reveal the inner man and boy did I enjoy seeing the layers of his character.Please do buy this book and give it a go though you might have heard opposing things. Hopefully I've straightened it all out for you. Hate To Love You is a traditional romance but written and plotted in a very unconventional way. I loved to hate, and loved to love, these two lead characters, and the supporting cast all shine, too.Highly recommend!
