Twisted Hate

 

Today, we’re diving into "Twisted Hate" by Ana Huang, the third instalment in the Twisted series.


Ana Huang, renowned for her engaging works such as the If Love and Kings of Sins series, brings us another captivating story with this book.




The narrative unfolds through the perspectives of Jules Ambrose and Josh Chen. Jules is an ambitious law student with a vibrant social life, but beneath the surface lies a troubling past. Josh, a charming medical resident, hides his own demons behind his charisma. Initially, they are enemies, but as they get to know each other, a deeper connection starts to form. When their pasts resurface, will they be able to weather the storm, or will it tear them apart?


Here are some key quotes from the book:


“The monsters in our imagination are often worse than those in reality,” highlights how our fears can be more daunting than actual events, complicating our lives.

  

“At some point, we had to let go of who a person used to be or who they could be and see them for who they really were,” emphasizes the need to accept people as they truly are, rather than as we wish them to be, even if it’s disappointing.


“You couldn’t heal from something if you didn’t acknowledge it,” points out that recognizing the root of a problem is essential for truly overcoming it.


“Sometimes, you had to take a leap or risk getting stuck forever,” suggests that to experience growth and change, you must take risks, just as you need to leap off a cliff to feel the wind against your face.


If you enjoy enemies-to-lovers stories, the best friend’s brother trope, and steamy romance, this book is definitely for you.
