Don't Hate the Player eBook Katie Ashley

I found the premise for this book to be interesting. It isn't everyday that I find a book about a guys best friend dying and him falling in love with his best friends love.

My interest was peaked. How in the world did that happen? What were they going to do about it? Was he even going to tell the girl?

How difficult it had to have been on Noah for him to lose the best friend he's had since kindergarten. For Jake to be taken away like that...so instantaneous. It just doesn't seem right, but that's the way with life and death. There are no guarantees. NONE. It's best not to take a moment for granted.

I love the authors insight and description of Noah and of all of the emotions he was dealing with on a daily basis.

I loved Maddie from the first moment she was introduced. I do love a woman that doesn't apologize for who she is. Take it or leave it.

I really wanted Noah to step up! I have to say I was horribly disappointed in him toward the end. Wtf?!? What was wrong with him?!? What was he thinking? Was he going to fix it? Could it be fixed?

Great read. Definitely would recommend.

Don't Hate the Player eBook Katie Ashley Reviews

While reading this book, it was difficult for me to not make parallels to my own life and a loss that I have grieved over. I feel that the author did a fabulous job portraying a person that is working through the grieving process, from the stages themselves, to the little nuances, such as chanting that the person is dead in disbelief. I found the authenticity with the grieving process so difficult that at times I had to put the book down, just because it hit me a little too close to home.

Overall, I thought this was a fun read, just a little heavier than I had assumed it would be if I were to judge it upon the cover. I went into this book thinking that I was reading just another NA book off my TBR pile, but it was more than that. This is a beautiful look at the grieving process and finding strength from unexpected places.

I have to admit that it did throw me off that this book was written from a male's point of view. It's just so uncommon in my experience that I had to read the first part twice just to ensure that I was understanding everything correctly. I couldn't imagine this story coming from any other POV, it was just unexpected yet very well done.

Definitely a good read if you're looking for something a little deeper than your average NA love story.
You mean everything to me--you saved me from the darkness and brought me to the light. And I can't imagine a future without you in it."

Have I sung Katie's praises lately? Have I told you how much I love her writing? I think it has been a while, so let me just give ya a quick reminder. Katie has written another amazing book and knocked it out of the ballpark! There is just something about her YA novels that get to me. Especially this one. They have such intricate plots and emotion behind them.

Don't Hate The Player...Hate the Game is probably my favorite book by Katie, seriously there was just something about the characters and the writing in this book that tugged on a piece of my heart and hung on. I loved reading the emotions told and portrayed from the mind of a 17-year-old male. Noah's point of view just gave the entire book a completely different vibe to it, and Katie, well I thought her emotions and her writing was a slam dunk for this story. The characters are so real, so well developed and her writing in this book is just so much more. Not that I don't love her writing in her other books cause I do, but I just connected on a much deeper level with this one. I found her writing in this book to have a different feel to it, one I really enjoyed and I am glad that she took the chance and published it. Don't Hate The Player proves that Katie is not one-dimensional, she can rock a YA just as well as she rocks her erotica.

"Don't be ashamed of your emotions, Noah. Experience them and embrace them. They're what make us alive and strong."

Noah was an amazing male lead. Some spots made me a little uncomfortable but Kim reminded me that we are reading this story from the mind of a 17-year-old teen. His raw and real reactions were that of a 17-year-old boy, not to mention Noah's pain and his struggle between grieving and following the traditional role of what is expected of a man was so heart wrenching to read. He never had the real chance to grieve properly because he was always to worried about how others would view him, or what their opinion of him would be, since you know crying isn't very masculine. My heart broke each time he would start, I thought to myself finally Noah you will have some form of closure, and then he would bury it away.

Maggie, there isn't much to say about Maggie other than she was amazing. I just loved her and the message she brought with her character. Our heroine was an inspiration. She stood strong; she was Noah's saving grace. The light in his tunnel of darkness.

"It was true that time healed all wounds, but it didn't quite mend a broken heart."

The first half of Don't Hate The Player was very heavy in tragedy and grief while the second half was much lighter as Noah found ways to grieve and handle the variety of issues thrown at him. Noah and Maggie's journey was one of personal growth, strength, acceptance, and the importance of telling people how you feel. Sometimes people are deeper than they appear and over time, they change. Even the hardest times can be meaningful and even beautiful if you have people you care about to share them with.

Thank you Katie for the opportunity to read and review Don't Hate The Player...Hate The Game for my honest review.
