Twisted Hate by Ana Huang is the third book in the popular Twisted Series. This novel follows Jules Ambrose, one of the four friends, and also a law student at Thayer Law. She has a shadowed past, including an abusive ex-boyfriend named Max. Josh Chen is Ava’s (from the first book, Twisted Love) older brother. Josh and Jules have not been friendly ever since college, when Jules got Ava into a few scrapes. Josh and Jules end up being forced to work together, and have some unexpected physical tension. They eventually agree to be friends with benefits. Josh and Jules must navigate what an actual emotionally connecting relationship feels like and grow in maturity together.
I give this book 3 stars because it is a good book, but it’s simply just not my favorite. I prefer more of a slowburn, hateful relationship. Josh and Jules felt a little bit rushed to me and the hate honestly just felt like mutual dislike. This book is by no means bad, but I simply like other novels better. This is still a good book, and I will still reread when I reread the series.
