This love story was very intriguing and kept me turning the page. At first I admit, I went into it because I loved the cover, but in the end I fell in love with the story as well.

This was an incredible story of first loves, family secrets, and pain. Oh boy the pain! I usually don't like books with angst and am a sucker for a solidly happy ending, but Ashley Herring Blake really changed my mind with this one.

This was one of the better contemporary YA books I read for the year. Suffer Love had heart, characters I could connect with, and was a fast paced read. Ashley Herring Blake is definitely an author I will be reading in the future. I am giving this book 4 out of 5 stars.

This is a small story, which is not necessarily a bad thing at all. I often like my novels quite contained. But with five-star ratings abounding nearly everywhere, I expected a bit more from SUFFER LOVE, whether it be beautifully crafted wordsmithing or a more complex treatment of family betrayal and pain. I would have settled for a more compelling romance alone. But this novel simply floats along, continuing on as it means to. I just didn't connect with any of it on a deep enough level to make it a lasting or truly memorable read.

There are some books that make you forget you have an actual life outside their pages—a life full of responsibilities and obligations and things that have to be done. Books that make you feel like a kid again, hiding under the covers with a flashlight to fit in just one more chapter before your parents come to check if you’re asleep. Books you devour in one day because you can’t seem to stop reading.

SUFFER LOVE is such a book.
