I liked the characters and can totally relate to Valerie being that I was kind of that person in high school. The only thing that I didn't like about this book was the open ending. It seemed to me like she was running away. I read the stuff written by the author about how, no, she wasn't actually r...

After closing the pages of this book, I couldn't stop thinking about it. My mind kept wandering back to Val and everything that she had been through. It's like this book opens up a part of you that is emotionally dormant, until you start to read. Hate List is by far one of the toughest books I've re...
