A Fall Away novel by the author of Falling Away and Until You. Everything you’ve heard about Bully is true because this is the series with an “emotional rush”* like nothing you’ve read before.…
My name is Tate. He doesn’t call me that, though. He would never refer to me by a friendly nickname. No, he’ll barely even speak to me. But he still won’t leave me alone.
We were best friends once. Then he turned on me and made it his mission to ruin my life. I was humiliated, shut out, and gossiped about all through high school. His pranks and rumors got worse as time wore on, and I made myself sick trying to stay out of his way. I even went away for a year just to avoid him.
But I’m done hiding from him now, and there’s no way I’ll allow him to ruin another year. He might not have changed, but I have. It’s time to fight back.

Another Manwhore gets Virgin Double Standard, but I liked it
By Kindle Customer
I really didn't think I would like this book as Bullying is really overdone by YA authors and I didn't think I could handle another one. But this isn't anything like I was expecting; it was a love story and I really enjoyed it. If you like Katie McGarry's style ( Pushing the Limits (Harlequin Teen)) and Simone Elkeles's (Perfect Chemistry), then you will probably like this one.
Bully starts out exciting as we see Tatum and her best friend K.C. literally racing around town and going to a party at night, hoping not to see Jared and Madoc, two boys who enjoy embarrassing Tate. Jared has deposited Tate's keys in the pool and challenges her to retrieve them. She is so glad that she is spending the next year in France to get away from Jared and his constant sneer at her. She is baffled why they are no longer friends, as all she knows is that he came back from visiting his dad for the first time on his fourteenth summer and has treated her like crap ever since. He spreads rumors about her that keep all the boys from asking her out and never fails to find away to embarrass or intimidate her. Her loyal friend K.C. and K.C.'s boyfriend Liam have been her only steadfast friends.
But now she is back for her senior year and is determined to not let the bad-boy, man-whore ruins it for her. The fact that they are neighbors and he has LOUD parties most Friday nights, makes this hard. Also, her undeniable attraction to him. Then her best friend starts lying to her and making friends with Jared and Jared steals some kisses from Tate, totally confusing her and her body.
Why did he change? Why is he mean to her and also seeming not to be able to keep his hands off of her? Why does Madoc, Jared's best friend, all of a sudden want to date her? Why does her best friend think she is wrong to pay Jared back for his meanness? Would she ever be able to forgive him for the way he has treated her all these years?
This is a good high school type romance with descriptive sex scenes and some frustrating behavior that very well could have applied to teenagers. While I HATE the double standard of Tate being the chaste virgin and Jared the VERY experienced man-whore, the writing is very well done and keeps you engrossed in the story. This will take your emotions on a rollercoaster of anger, resentment, shock, wariness, sympathy, and a cautious forgiveness. I will be reading the next in the series merely because I think Penelope Douglas has real talent as a YA/NA writer. Personally, I hope Book 2 will be about Jaxon.

This Bully crossed too many lines for me...
By T. Sheppard
Jared and Tate are neighbors.
And growing up they were best friends and pretty much inseparable. Through the loss of her mother to Jared's mothers battle with drinking they supported and loved each other. And then the summer before their freshman year, Jared went to stay with his father, and the Jared that came back was different. He was unbelievably mean and cruel to Tate and seemed to make it his life's mission for the next two years to taunt and torment her. He hated her.
And then Tate left to study abroad in Paris for a year, and when she returns she is determined that she is not going to let her former best friend turned personal torturer ruin her life any longer.
And there are a few shining moments of Tate standing up for herself and taking a stand (one brilliantly involving her middle finger and a "tear" was especially full of win)
While Jared goes back and forth between cutting her down and eye-boinking her.
Clearly, this is the classic "I hate you because I want you" scenario going on.
I know that to some the fact that Jared secretly pines for her and actually loves her under all that cruelty and hatred, and eventually apologies and explains makes up for all of it.
Yeahhh. Not so much for me. The vitrol that he continues to spew at her, his intimidating behavior and the lengths he goes to hurt her even after she's been gone for a year hint toward a really deep ugliness I'm not so fond of.
This book could have been really good, even great if the author hadn't chosen for Jared to continue the abuse and hateful behavior after Tate returned. If the time apart had dulled the sharp edges of his anger and he just didnt have the heart to be so cruel anymore. It would have made some sort of sense for me. But instead his epiphany moment comes too late during a dramatic monologue in class.
It's frustrating for me because the chemistry between Jared and Tate is smoking hot. And some of Tate's memories of their childhood friendship have real emotional resonance.
This could have been a resonating love story about the hidden pain that is often behind bullying, about atonement, forgiveness and the healing power of love.
Instead it only ends up being about a hot guy who torments a pretty girl who used to be his best friend until he decides not too anymore. With a particularly dreadful supporting cast of morally questionable characters, hot cars, and a video that should have resulted in charges being pressed.

Distasteful
By Amazon Customer
Sigh. Another book about an abusive guy and his delusional love interest, masquerading as a YA romance. No, just no. The plot is fairly simple. A mean, abusive, promiscuous young man harasses and intimidates a young woman he secretly loves. This young woman is treated like trash by the jerk and his friends, but is still secretly attracted to him. Why? Because they were friends as little kids! Because he has Mommy/Daddy issues so that absolutely justifies his rotten behavior. Because she can save him from himself! And lest we point out that the female character, Tate, is as ridiculous and Mary-Sueish as Bella Swan and Anastasia Fifty Shades of Gray girl, this author has made Tate "different" because Tate points her middle finger and breaks guys' noses and knees them in the crotch. Yeah, because a violent woman is better than a doormat of a woman.
This book has no redeeming characters. The main character, Tatum Brandt, is supposed to be this smart, pretty girl, who has traveled to France, is athletic and also good in school. Yet, she can't seem to fight her attraction for a guy who is a party-throwing, fast car loving, mean drunk. His hot looks are enough to make what should be a smart young woman overlook his disgusting, malevolent personality. Why would a smart girl like Tate fall for Jared? A smart girl in real life would steer clear of a jerk like him, but no...this intelligent young woman can't fight her physical attraction for him, her lust makes all her sensibility go out the window. The male lead character, Jared, is so poorly written, it's almost comical. We have no clue what motivates him. All we know is that he's hot, he's mean, and he was abused. That's about it. I wish I could tell you more about him, but the author didn't think we needed to know more about Jared beyond his good looks and his macho man attitude. The supporting characters are just as despicable. A best friend, K.C., who is willing to date Jared, despite the fact that he has mistreated Tate. All of the males in the book, and I mean ALL, are jerks who like to mishandle girls, talk nastily to them, ignore their wishes etc. The few female characters are described as sluts ( Piper, Derek Roman's girl, etc). And the adults are non existent. Dad is off overseas, Mom is dead, Grandma pops in for a few paragraphs, cooks a nice meal, gives some grandmotherly advice then disappears, and Jared's parents are abusive.
Notable scenes in this book? An incident where Tate is being pawed by a guy so badly she ends up breaking his nose. An incident where Tate is changing in the locker room, and Jared barges in to intimidate her while all she has on is a towel. An incident where Tate is nearly raped by a guy, but is rescued by Jared, who beats the guy to a bloody pulp. An incident where Jared speeds down a dark road with his headlights off, endangering both their young lives, while Tate begs him to stop ( he ignores her). An incident where Jared flirts with Tate's best friend, K.C., just to hurt Tate's feelings. And it goes on and on...horrendous mistreatment and bullying that in the end is made right by love. I don't know what the author's definition of love is, but this isn't it. The relationship between Tate and Jared is a false standard of love, manhood and relationships.
Please, please, please don't allow your teen-aged daughters to read stuff like this. And if you do, please give them Pride and Prejudice to read afterward, a book that has a true gentleman for a hero, and a smart young woman for a heroine, and an actual redeeming love story. Then discuss how books like Bully are demeaning and sexist. Discuss how what Tate and Jared have are not how a healthy relationship should be evolve among young people. If older, experienced women want to read crap like this to fulfill their fantasies of dominant man/passive woman, fine. However, young impressionable teen-aged women should steer clear of books like this, unless they truly understand the dynamics of authors romanticizing abusive relationships.
