My experience with Bonded by Hate Torn Apart by Love was riveting and heartfelt. I have been in a similar situation a few times in my life. This story specifically reminded me of my most recent relationship with a guy who was my close friend. Personally, I found myself rooting for Skyler and Michael to have a “happy-ever after”. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has been in love or who is looking for love that could be staring you in the face! This novel allows you to examine yourself and relate to the characters on a deeper level. Moral of the story, don’t deny your feelings!

I really, really enjoyed this book! So much to unpack from the book! Simply amazing! Like don’t play games…Procrastinate…boundaries, waiting on God, being true to your inner self, what happens when you have too much pride!... Haven’t even talked about the other relationships! Good read!

This book was a pleasure to read. The colloquialisms in this book really connected me with the story and I related to it as a result. I saw bits and pieces of people I know in real life in some of these characters and that made it that much more interesting to read. I really liked Tony, Niko and Kim. I found myself genuinely concerned for how things were going to turn out for them. I liked how all the characters were successful and black.
