Aria Sullivan doesn't fall in love.
She leaves before it gets serious.
At seventeen, in her final year of high school, Aria has already learned how to keep things light-relationships included. Five boyfriends, zero heartbreaks. Not because she doesn't feel, but because she knows exactly when to walk away.
Love is messy. Staying is dangerous.
And long-distance? Absolutely not.
Aria likes things simple: her two best friends, her car, her independence, and rules that keep her safe. But when Miles Anderson-the quiet, disinterested best friend of the school's golden boy-starts existing a little too close to her orbit, those rules begin to feel less certain.
Miles isn't loud. He isn't charming.
And worst of all... he isn't staying.
Things I Used to Hate is a slow-burn, coming-of-age romance about fear disguised as independence, wanting what scares you, and learning that some things are worth missing.
