Publisher's summary

Have you ever been so angry that hitting things felt good? Or numb to all emotions? The past few years have been like that for me. Traveling between fury and indifference with no stops in between. Some people hate me for it, while others are scared of me. But none of them can hurt me, because I don't care about anything or anyone. Except Tatum. I love her so much that I hate her. I hate that I can't let her go. We used to be friends, but I found out that I couldn't trust her - or anyone else. So I hurt her. I pushed her away. But I still need her. She centers me. Engaging her, challenging her, pushing her - it's the one last part of me that feels anything anymore. But then she went and screwed everything up. She left for a year and came back a different girl. Now, when I push, she pushes back...and I'm not sure either one of us will ever be the same.

Great

Like it a lot, the narrator suited Jared's character but would like to hear more of Jareds story,

just as the author says....

I lived that this is Jared's story. I was desperate to get my hands on it. The best part was that this us not a word for word retelling of Bully. It has a few key situations from Jared's point of view but it's his story entirely. And what a story...

I can't wait to see what is in store for everyone else.

a great way to show the story from his view

this was amazingly awesome. thank you. this is a reminder that assuming is usually a bad thing to do. communication, communication, compromise and listen

OMG 😭😭

This book!!! Omg it’s been so long since I laughed and cried to a book. OMG this book is so good!! I absolutely loved his POV!!!! Ohh this book!! 😍😍

fantastic

I loved Bully but I really enjoyed Jarod's pov. I loved getting to know him better and I want more

His side!

I read the first book to this series, which I loved!, this book was just as good. I went from dislike to loving him in the end. You won't be able to stop listening, I promise.

Love Jared and Tate!

This a great series! I've become invested in all the characters and anxious to see the various story lines to the end. The narrators are perfect for this story and they made me want to continue through the other books. A SEXY MUST READ!

Until You

What did you love best about Until You?

I really liked being able to get things from Jared's POV. I also liked that this wasn't a complete retelling of Bully. There were a lot of great added scenes.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Until You?

When Jared stayed with Tate's Dad.

What does Nelson Hobbs bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Hobbs brought more passion to the story I think.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I had a lot of the same reactions I had while reading Bully. There was a scene that still managed to piss me off even though I knew the outcome already.

More invested than before

I was already really invested in the characters While I read Bully. But with this sequel, I fell even more in love after this one. Jared is such a beautifully broken character. He's hurting and he's also in love with Tate; which makes him feel vulnerable. As a result he bullies her because he does not know how to handle his emotions and cope with trauma. I felt so angry with him but I liked being able to get to know this character.

If I could change anything, I would make this one and Bully into one book with Dual perspectives. At time it became really repetitive. However, there's more events in this story, ended after the first in the series. Jared realizes the consequences of his actions and make this right.

I liked Nelson Hobbs. He really captured Jared's obsession with Tate.

You won't be disappointed

After being introduced to Bully, I wasn't to sure about this story, but like so many others I wanted to know the other side of the same coin. To say that Penelope didn't disappoint is an understatement. She's right about the fact that this is the other side of the Bully story and is best if read after the fact, but this story is also a stand alone, and a great one at that. I love the minor details that this author adds to her story lines to set the stage. Not only has she introduced me to some great stories and entertainment, but also a list of really great artists and songs... and really, what's not to love about that! I also am loving the narrator in this one. I've never had the pleasure of hearing anything read by Nelson, but I look forward to hunting down more stories lines so he can fill my ears with pleasure. There truly is nothing like a good story teller and neither Penelope or Nelson has disappointed!
