#Hater

#Hater is the long-awaited ( it took just a few months, but with the anticipation building it felt like an eon) sequel to #Nerd, the first book in the Hashtag series by Cambria Hebert. (This new adult contemporary series is not intended for young adult readers.) In #Hater we continue following Romeo and Rimmel. Their love for each other is stronger than ever.

How could I be excited about my dream when Rimmel’s life was being ripped apart? – Romeo

It started with unspoken animosity. The bitter bite 
of jealousy. And now its full blown hate. It 
was during my first football game that I 
first felt the first chill of hate. I looked it right 
in the eyes and felt its sticky tentacles reach 
out for me. I’d never experienced something 
so cold and empty before. 
The effect of that look lingered, like an 
unspoken promise, long after it was gone. 
Becoming a couple – becoming the other half 
of a campus celebrity wasn’t easy. I let down 
walls guarding my heart and he looked past 
my glasses and accident prone tendencies. 
Romeo and I are an unlikely match, a #nerd 
and a jock. But we made it. And we’re happy. 
Zach doesn’t want us to be happy. He wants 
Romeo to pay for getting him kicked out of 
Omega and for the night he spent in jail. He’s 
going to use anything and everything he can 
to get his revenge. Including me. As the 
weather on campus grows cold and the days 
become dark, revenge becomes the center of 
someone’s life and the happiness Romeo and 
I worked so hard for is threatened. 
I can’t help but worry that our love is going to 
be overshadowed by hate.

There is this quote that I read a long time ago. A quote that I loves and made me feel strong. It had stuck with me over the years, like so many of the other words by the author. ‘And though she be but little, she be fierce.’- Shakespeare. I thought about that quote right now. I might be little. I might be easily intimidated, but I could be fierce. I was fierce. – Rimmel
