Hate Our Love by Kay Shanee is my first read for the author and it was a pretty decent story. There's very good character development and good storytelling that leads to a heartwarming ending. Unfortunately, the book is not a 5 star read for me because I found the FMC, Jahzara Franklin very immature and irresponsible, especially for an older and pregnant character, and I think this type of messaging isn't what we need for those who are more likely to read this type of book. Dakari Bentley, the MMC, is the ideal book bae, but I found his short temper, inability to manage his anger, and communication issues problematic, so for every likable trait he had, there was a negative one that canceled it out. 

I listened to Hate Our Love on audiobook and I think Winston James and Anna Lynn Wright did a pretty good job, so I'd listen to another book narrated by either of them in the future for sure. 

I recommend Hate Our Love to anyone who likes an engaging story with good pacing and a heartwarming ending.
