The Boy I Hate is the first entry of The Sugarport Duology. The second is The Boy I Wrecked. They don't need to be read chronologically, but that's presently a moot point because TBIW is on hold while I rewrite TBIH.
This story was previously a stand-alone set in 2017, but when I decided to write a spin-off, I revised it to be set in 1996. I've since been informed that a number of technological impossibilities have slipped through the cracks. I'm resolving this in my rewrite. Don't mind it for now.
TBIH is also the first book I ever completed! I'm embarrassed by a lot of it, but I'm still glad you're giving it the time of day. Please support by liking, commenting, following, and sharing!
