review 1: Ostensibly told from the perspectives of both Chase and Rose, The Opposite of Love feels more like Chase's story than Rose's. Chase fully lets readers in and like her character, Rose only lets readers in in bits and pieces. Chase has had to grow up too early and be the on-the-scene parent for his younger sister but he wants to be a normal teen. Readers are told that Rose is a wild-child with overly-strict parents - and they see the strict parents but not the wild-child. Rose does have a lot of thorns around her shell and just as Chase feels he's beginning to break through, Rose's parents force her to retreat. After months of silence Rose and Chase reconnect in a plot twist that seems forced if not predictable. But, that point aside, a well-written book about two broken tee... morens trying to put the pieces of their lives together.
review 2: I really enjoyed this new twist on teenage love. It was original, heart-warming, and relatable. I loved Chase and his struggle to break free from the life he was given by his parents. Rose seemed like someone I already knew, and I was rooting for her to find happiness throughout the book. The Opposite of Love kept me hooked and left me wanting to follow Rose and Chase on their future journeys. I loved it! less
