Breaking the Bully by Jessa Kane

4.0

I am not a fan of bully romance...at all. But I love Jessa Kane.

The stress of a bully romance is real for me. Honestly, it’s triggering. Having had my own real life bully romance in high school that left nothing but scars reading about them is less than fun. But I am a huge Jessa Kane fan so I wanted to take the chance. And while it’s still a ‘not my cuppa’ trope, I’m glad I read it.

I felt awful for our heroine very early on. Domestic abuse is horrible and she dealt with a lot. Truthfully, I really wish Jessa would’ve put a trigger warning on this for the domestic abuse. The bullying was rough enough.

But, the bullying wasn’t very detailed. I truly appreciated that. It was clear that it was happening, but we only experienced a bit of it.

She made me like a bully romance so I’m giving this one four stars. But I’ll admit, this one will not become a re-read for me. I do recommend it for Jessa Kane lovers and fans of bully romance. I will say though, if you’re not a fan of either, you may want to skip it. If you don’t like bully romance I don’t think this will make you like bully romance. And it could put a bad taste in your mouth for Jessa Kane who is flat out awesome. Check out her other synopses for a plethora of other options of books you’ll love if bully isn’t your cuppa. You won’t regret reading Jessa Kane. Trust me.
