All by you (Love and hate series #1) By Joanna Mazurkeiwcz



I start hating Oliver just after his older brother Christian’s death. I drag him down a road of humiliation and pain to try to cope with what his brother did to me. 
A few months after Christian’s passing, Oliver leaves town, and for the next two years, he is absent from my life. The demons claw their way back in, and I must learn to live with the secret that has destroyed me. 
Now I’m starting a new life, away from Gargle and away from my past, but everything crashes when I see Oliver the first day at university. It’s clear that many things have changed since we’ve been apart. Now he is captain of the rugby team and the most popular bloke on campus. 
Then he makes a bet and gives me an ultimatum: I leave Braxton forever and start somewhere else, or I stay and play his game… because he’s never forgotten that it was me who ruined his life two years ago.

The first part of this book I got on okay with. The pranks were a little bit too much for me. I dunno, I didn't see Oliver as that sort of person. 

Anyway, some of the book dragged for me and towards the end when they start to have a relationship it's over before we know it and the book ended. 

I desperately wanted to see how they were together. To talk through their past and for India to finally fess up to what happened to her all those years ago. It was pretty obvious what had happened but she neither confirmed it or denied it and it really started to grate my nerves. She had her chance with Oliver to tell him, but she never. I kind of gave up with the book, but then it ended with a cliff hanger. 

I hate reading a book that doesn't end well. Even though I didn't enjoy the book I needed to see where the story was going. Don't get me wrong, the book isn't boring or anything, I just didn't feel like it was for me.
