Hello! I do really like it. But to my own surprise, not for the reason I thought at first. I was browsing, looking for some bad boy/ teenage light drama and I have to admit that the title and cover made me open it. But “Knowing Xavier” is so much more realistic and different.
I like that Haley has such a good relationship with her dad which I have to say is rare nowadays — and rarely promoted in teenage books. We always read how teens rebel against their parents and sometimes we think that if we don’t do so it’s something wrong with us.
Also, I love how Xavier is not the cliche bad boy. He’s actually not a bad boy at all, despite what they all think. And I mostly refer to the fact that he’s not arrogant, proud, smug, aware of his good looking physics and always using that to get what he wants. He’s shy and quiet and doesn’t know how to act when someone talks to him or shows him kindness. And I also loved that part when Haley tried to figure out who was the girl he liked. Poor Haley, so blinded by those feelings :))
Love it. ❤️ Can’t wait to read more.
