Hate Me Like You Mean It

The tension between the characters felt so authentic and addictive. I'm curious whether this was based on personal experiences or a classic trope the author wanted to explore.

The slow burn was really well done, but there were moments where the attraction seemed almost palpable. Did others find it convincing or a bit over-the-top?

The backdrop added so much flavor to the romance. I wonder whether the setting was chosen to reflect the characters' personalities or if it was more about mood.
