About this listen

Fall Away with this addictive series from the bestselling author of PUNK 57.

New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas delivers an unforgettable romance that toes the fine line between love and hate.

My name is Tate.

He doesn't call me that, though. He would never refer to me by a friendly nickname. No, he'll barely even speak to me. But he still won't leave me alone.

We were best friends once. Then he turned on me and made it his mission to ruin my life. I've been humiliated, shut out, and gossiped about all through high school. His pranks and rumours got worse as time wore on, and I made myself sick trying to stay out of his way. I even went to France for a year, just to avoid him.

But I'm done hiding from him now, and there's no way in hell I'll allow him to ruin another year. He might not have changed, but I have. It's time to fight back.

Read the whole series in order:
BULLY; UNTIL YOU; RIVAL; FALLING AWAY; AFLAME (novella); NEXT TO NEVER (novella)

(Helena Hunting, author of The Good Luck Charm)

"A wonderfully addictive read that kept my heart racing from start to finish. I could not put it down!" (Aestas Book Blog)

"A heated and passionate novel, full of feeling and intensity that will appeal to the reader seeking an emotional rush." (IndieReader)

I have started hating the third act of romance books they become so repetitive and predictable. I’m tired of this genre I wish more effort was put into it but everyone just blindly follows the same story arc.

As good as the rest of her books

I’m really not sure if I enjoyed this book or not, I found it captivating but it was very predictable and also farfetched in places. Also the narrator isn’t my favourite. Overall alright.

Hmm

I love Penelope Douglas as an author so might be biased. But this is a great first book in this series. Loved the story, great reader especially as it was just read by one person. I would highly recommend
