Title: Dear Heart, I Hate You
Series: Silver Springs
Author: Eliah Greenwood
Release Date: February 2022
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?
So I finally decided to pick this book up after finishing book 1 back in April 2021. I needed something to keep me from falling into a slump and this sounded just right.
Dia agrees to house and dog sit for the Richards family over the summer, because she needed the money. What she doesn't expect is for Finn to end up home early because he got kicked out of basketball camp. Finn tries to do everything he can to get her to quit because he hates her. But she is more stubborn than he is, and isn't budging, otherwise she could kiss her chance of getting a car goodbye. But what happens when the lines between them blur?
So let me just say, enemies to lovers? Sign me up! I loved the drama - and wished the pranks between the characters lasted a bit longer than they did. I loved Finn in all his brokenness. - he may have been a delinquent bad boy to everyone but he was still hurting and grieving from his mother's death. And he wasn't as bad as he may have hoped to come off as. Dia was sweet and innocent - except she was one of the only ones who called Finn out on his crap & didn't take it either. This book was a whirlwind from start to finish & I can't wait to read the next book to find out what happens next for these characters.
