Make Me Hate You
Kandi Steiner
June 25, 2020
If he kisses me right now, I’ll drown.
Every sip of air is shallow and burning, because in the arms of my best friend’s brother, I’m the closest I’ve ever been to sin.
His eyes flick to my lips, and I remember the first time I tasted him, seven years ago before I left this town and vowed never to return. His hands grip my waist, and I remember the pain when he rejected me, when my entire world crashed down at his command. His jaw clenches, and my senses come alive with one stinging reminder.
I’m not his to kiss, and he’s not mine.
I tried to stay away from Tyler Wagner, putting an entire country between us. But when his sister’s wedding brings us back to the same town, to the same house, I can’t avoid him, no matter how hard I try.
He’s always there, his dark eyes bewitching, luring me into their depths. The memory of us pulls me under like a rip current, and when he flashes that smile, I lose my breath, along with my will, unable to escape his grip and find the surface.
Now, hours before our plus ones arrive for the wedding, I’m in his arms, begging him to make me hate him, knowing he never could.
If he kisses me right now, I’ll drown.
And I’ll take him down with me.
Make Me Hate You is a best friend’s brother romance that will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

Y’all, this book is everything and more. I love almost any love story but Jasmine and Tyler’s story is just so good. Let’s also factor in that it’s a sisters best friend trope and you have me hooked. I can’t ever turn those down.
Jasmine and Tyler? They were as close as Jasmine and Morgan growing up, it was always the 3 of them even though Tyler was almost a year older than them. But then one bad day messed it all up, after Jasmine and Morgan graduated high school, Jasmine fled their cute little New Hampshire town and never looked back. She moved on to something bigger, warmer and better. Until 7 years later and she’s the maid of honor in her best friends wedding. When your best friend asks you to come home for that, there’s no possible way you could deny them that.
And so Jasmin returned to that town in New Hampshire that she swore she’d never go back to. And as soon as she returned her life was flipped back upside down, but in the best and worst way possible.
Like I said in the beginning of this review, Kandi Steiner is a genius. This is her 21st release and I swear each book is so vastly different from the others but all the same at the same time that I can’t help falling in love with every story and every character, main or side, I love them all. Except the evil ones, those ones I don’t like.

Kandi Steiner is a bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing “emotional rollercoaster” stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance — in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you’re a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she’s your gal.
An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women’s Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed it to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her “freedom of press.” She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a diehard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.
When Kandi isn’t writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, talking with her extremely vocal cat, and spending time with her friends and family. She enjoys live music, traveling, anything heavy in carbs, beach days, movie marathons, craft beer, and sweet wine — not necessarily in that order.
