REVIEW: Resentment by Nicole London

Resentment by Nicole London

Re•sent•ment

The act of hating – no, fucking loathing Dean Collins. (Yes, I’m well aware that’s not the actual definition, but it might as well be . . .)

It’s been ten years since we've seen each other and the feelings are still as strong.

I’m not going to bore you with all the details of how our love was once intoxicating, consuming, and perfect.

Because it was . . . until it wasn't.

I've been fine without him. I haven’t missed his cruelty, his coldness and his spite. 

And after the ugliest breakup in the history of breakups, I forced myself to move on. 

Year by year, the feelings I had for him slowly drifted away, but one encounter with him recently changed everything. One encounter made me realize how the heart doesn't forget shit, and how my mind is going to have to work overtime to make sure I never forget my definition of resentment.

Caroline's Review 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I've been binge-reading this author's few works, and totally loved this book!

"He's looking at me like he wants me, like there's nothing in life that he wants more."

Mia Gray is on her way to being valedictorian with Harvard calling her. She's smart, beautiful, and couldn't give a damn about popularity. In fact, she completely disdains the social life at high school, is happy being a misfit, and she's certainly not interested in boys, especially jocks - especially Dean Collins.

"I've never had a crush on a girl for this long and I've never had to work so hard just to get someone to say a basic hello."

Dean Collins is persistent. Very persistent. And, cocky. And, annoying. And, funny. Mia is so surprised by him and, even more surprised by how much they have in common. What starts out as friendship escalates into something more. Until, to her complete bafflement, it completely falls apart.

"If there's one thing I'll never be able to pack away, it's the utter resentment I have for him in my heart, and I swear to god I will never forget how this moment feels."

Ten years later, Mia and Dean come face to face in the most unexpected of ways. Resentment burns bright between them, but so does lust. But, how can they move forward without resolving issues from the past?

I found this to be a fab, compulsive read. It was amusing, hot, and really quite emotional in places. Mia was a great female character. She was witty, snarky, confident, and strong. Even when she was broken, she picked herself up and tried to move on. Dean was gorgeous, cheeky, and sexy! I loved how hard he pursued Mia and, even when things were bad between them, I loved how much his actions spoke louder than words. They had such a great friendship and palpable chemistry.

I've now run out of this author's works, and really looking forward to what she comes up with next.
