Hate to love you, was written by Jenn Bennet. It’s two books in one; Alex, Approximately AND Starry Eyes can you believe that!?
Between the two, Alex, Approximately was my favourite.
In Alex, Approximately, the two main characters are Bailey ‘Mink’ Rydell and Porter Alexander Roth. For Starry Eyes, it’s Zorie Everhart and Lennon Mackenzie.
Both stories are amazing, this is one of my favourite parts from Alex, Approximately
As I’m licking the cinnamon sugar from my fingertips, I spy a fat orange tabby cat sunning on the sidewalk near the bench.
No. Could it be?
I glance across the promenade. Looks to be a vintage clothing store, a surf shop -Penny Boards, which may or may not be named after Porter’s stupid grandfather- a medical marijuana dispensary, and a café of some sort. The cat stretches. I pull down my shades. Our eyes meet. Am I looking at Alex’s stray cat?
“Here kitty,” I call sweetly. “Sam-I-Am? That wouldn’t be your name, would it? Sweet boy?”
His listless gaze doesn’t register my voice. For a moment, I wonder if he died, then he just rolls to one side, turning a cool shoulder to me with snotty feline aplomb.
