Until You (The Fall Away Series)

I couldn't put this down!!!
I really enjoyed getting inside Jareds head poor guy was so tangled up because of his Dad it made me so sad. I liked hearing his side of the story from Bully, no it's not exactly the same story not much is added to his and Tates storyline in this book but it's nice to be able to know what was going on in his mind seeing the story through his eyes and finding out what happened at the time things went down instead of just hearing
him tell it to Tate in Bully.
Can't wait for Madoc's story and I am absolutely elated there will be more. As a huge fan of both books of course I want them asap but I know the wait will be well worth it.

Thoroughly enjoyed Until You and found it extremely hard to put down. I'm not the biggest fan of retelling stories as I feel like it's just the same thing all over again but that definitely wasn't the case with Until You. Yes Until You was a retelling, but it also gave a fresh perspective on the story and characters that we saw in Bully.

There was just so much raw chemistry between Jared and Tate. I honestly couldn't stop myself from turning the pages for more. I am seriously loving this series and I can't wait to read more from Penelope Douglas. I will definitely be reading this one again.

for Jared, Nothing mattered as long as he had Tate. Until the summer he spent with his father. Abused and feeling alone he lashes out at the one person he loves and who loves him the most.

Thinking this book was "Bully" in Jared's POV I initially was not going to read this one. Yes you do re-read parts where Jared interacts with Tatum in the previous book " Bully , but reading "Until you" had so much more to add to the story. It exceeded my expectations and made me love them all the more. A must read. I can't wait for the next book in the series.

Finally someone has wrote a different point of view for the same book and did it right. I felt like I was reading a whole different story. Not just Bully over again. This book made me fall in love with Jared so much more. I loved being in his head and seeing everything he went through. I think I even liked this one better than Bully. I love Jared and Tate. You get to see their struggle to find one another again. I love how she added more of the story at the end. Bully and Until You have def become part of my best books of 2013! And Maddoc. I can't wait to read his story! Jaxon is going to be a good one too! The summer needs to get here already. Penelope Douglas is a genius and she is now one of my favorite authors. If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would. Read Bully and read this book. You will not be disappointed!

I absolutely fell in love with Bully months ago I downloaded for free and I wasn't too hopeful that it was going to be a good read...oh how wrong I was. It sucked me in and made me want more of Jared and Tate. I love reading books with alternating POVs but having two full length books told from both sides is so much better. I had been waiting so long for Jared's POV since the author decided to write it and it met all my expectations. Being inside Jared's head gave me such a better understanding if his character and also how he viewed Tate. I am looking forward to the other two books in the Fall Away Series.

I loved reading from Jared's perspective and was very happy to find the author added some new material and scenes rather than making it a replica of "Bully". This book was great; I love reading from the guy's perspective! My only complaint is that I wanted a bit more from Jared, such as more details, more dialogue, more thoughts. I was craving more details about his bad boy ways (sex scenes, partying, etc). Also there is a scene towards the end of the book that I won't give away, but it seemed a little too cliche and unrealistic. Maybe that is me just being picky, but overall this is a great, fun book to read!

Loved this book heart and soul. Jared is so broken it hurts. I was so engrossed in his thoughts. I felt every emotion he felt. He was so lost and in pain but was so tender in a Jared kind of way. I loved how he was torn between love and hate and he played both ends of the spectrum well. Jared owns a piece of my heart. The growth you see him go thru as he learns to embrace the love he has for Tate. The chemistry between these 2 is so steamy you forget they are still in high school. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

I loved Bully but getting to see this story from Jared's POV was very important to this love story. It was hard to understand why Jared treated Tate the way he did, but after seeing what he went through and how felt during certain moments made me understand. I'm really excited to see the rest of the fall away series, and I know that we are going to get to see Jared and Tate in those stories but I really hope we get a novella later on tying them up in a big red bow in their happy ending! Penelope Douglas you are awesome

Positively one of the best books I have read...ever! And to think that I am a hard to please reader. It was refreshing to know and learn Jared's POV. I understood him more. Yap, no matter how you see it, what he did to Tate was totally not cool. Bullying is never cool. But somehow, you find it in your heart to understand why he did what he did. Their love story was full of love from the beginning, just tainted by self doubt and insecurities. Penelope Douglas tops my fave author list and I am looking forward the the rest of the books in this series..

I gave a scathing review of Bully because I really didn't like the abuse that the H subjected the h to as a vulnerable teenager. I had already bought this book and for some reason decided to read but had already decided that I'd probably return it for a refund. Well, I'm not going to now. This was written way better and being told from the H's point of view, I was able to understand the story better. I think the author redeemed the H to me and I liked the way he took responsibility for things. I would rather have read this book without ever having read Bully.

Until You…where to begin. I truly enjoyed reading the POV of Jared. It helped me understand why he treated Tate the way he did. Although I expected it be something much more “severe” I still understood where Jared was coming from. He was young and had just been through something very traumatic. I loved the ending when told his childhood story….that just made it all click for me. I really wish Penelope would write a novel years later that gives you an insight into what has happened in their lives as adults.

Three words!! ABSOLUTLELY LOVED IT!!! This book is simply amazing and it was so fantastic to get in the mind of Jared! This POV of Jared's cleared up so many questions! He broke my heart and made me tear up! I don't want to mention any spoilers but this is a definite read if you have already read Bully. This book gives you a little extra to Tate and Jared's story! Penelope you are an awesome writer and I love how you relate to your many readers/fans!! I am so looking forward to Madoc's and Jax's stories!! Again you ROCK Penelope!! :)

I enjoyed reading bully and I loved Until You. Jared's POV is great, getting to know him makes him more likable. When I was reading Bully, I just couldn't understand how Tate forgave Jared so easily. Now I have a better idea of why Jared is like that with Tate. Love Jared's speech at the end. Finally, I could see through Jared's eye how Tate was developing her trust little by little, not like I'd understood.
I definitely want to read about Madoc and I guess there's something between KC and Jax. Can't wait to know their stories.

This is a companion book to Bully, which I loved, and also told from Jared's point of view. I typically do not like books who tell the same story, but from another character's point of view. That was not the case this time though. I even reread Bully before reading this book and I never felt like I was just rereading the same story. Seeing things from Jaren's point of view helped me to understand their story so much more. I really fell in love with all of the characters in this book and can't wait for their story to continue!

I have tears streaming down my face. This is probably the best alternate "POV" book I have ever read. It wasn't just a re-telling of the first story (Bully) which was Tate' s (the heroine) point of view. It was almost a completely new version! Jared (hero)tells his story. I think I may have liked "Until You" more than "Bully." Although, I'm not completely convinced that the motivation for his bullying is realistic, especially in light if how much he feels for Tate, the story kept me glued to the kindle and I enjoyed every second.

Penelope Douglas has done it again, but this time in her Jared POV. She made me fall in love with her characters. The feelings and loved that Jared and Tate share are not only feel real, but also are realistic. In this book Jared has the voice, the ability to make readers understand what he is thinking, feeling, believing. It is almost heart-breaking, but such a great story that I couldn't stop reading. I will always hope to find a love similar to Jared and Tate's, but for now, their love is enough.

I really liked Bully, but I ABSOLUTELY LOOOOOOOOVED Until You!!!! I loved being in Jared's head and understanding the reasons he did the things he did! SO MANY FEELS!!!

This book was amazing! I was already crying at 3%!!! And it just continued to get better and better!!!

Other authors need to take note.....THIS IS HOW YOU WRITE AN ALTERNATE POV!!! I did not feel like I was re-reading Bully! The major events were still there, but even those felt new to me!

Amazing POV. Definitely a needed counterpart to Until You. I needed to hear this and it definitely added more to the story. It gave more light into Jared's mind and how he really felt in those crucial and sometimes moments where you thought he didnt give anything back. I really felt for his character and yeah he can be awesome too.
Ok now I got greedy. I liked Jared and Tate, despite all the hurt and bickering there was something good and it was nice seeing them find their way back. I want more!! And Madoc soon pls.

I loved seeing what Jared was thinking and how he redeemed himself to Tate and just how in love with her he is. I also came to love Madoc! This is a must read for fans of Jared and Tate! I enjoyed it just as much as Bully if not more.

I absolutely LOVED Bully and I wasn't really worried about this being a retelling of Bully. I wasn't however expecting this book to be as awesome as it was! Penelope did such an amazing job not only not retelling Bully but giving us a way better understanding of what was going on with Jared. I do not agree with how he was acting and how he was treating people but I definitely understand why now. It was nice to get a little more background on his brother Jax too. Really looking forward to Madoc and Jax' s stories.

Read from December 05 to 30, 2013
review It took me almost 3 weeks to do a Review, wanna know why....?
because i had book hangover, A HUGE ONE...
Let me start with the beginning ... (Duh!)
Jared was messed up, *rolls eyes* the only good thing in his life was Tate,
and he chose to push her away because he thought he was not got enough for her.
HIS own insecurities got him to hurt her,
because for him it was the only way to keep her
in his life but dont let her in.
if u read Bully you know where i'm heading
they conquered their fears and it was hot,
Fawning-myself-trowing-the-covers-away HOT...
thanks to the except from Madoc,
i cant wait for his own story because i know i will relate
to Fallon....
(less)

Just when you thought "Bully" couldn't get any better, we'll here come Jared's POV in "Until You"! An absolute must read! I could have strangled Jared in "Bully", but this book put everything into perspective! I love Tate and Jared's story. This is definitely not a book to miss. You will laugh, you will cry, you will cheer and you will fall in love all over again. Buy and read today! Can not wait for Murdoc's story!

I was hesitant to read this book since alternate P.O.V. novels are usually just a repeat of the same story and often times disappointing... even those done by some of my favorite authors. I am so glad that I did. Other than Hopeless/Finding Hope by Colleen Hoover, I can't remember an alternate P.O.V. novel that I have liked as much. Until You felt like I was reading new book with the bonus of having the familiarity and attachments to the characters. Jared is the type of guy that will stick with you long after you have read this book. I can't wait to read Rival.... and will definitely read anything else Penelope has coming up.

Ok... So I thought bully was awesome, which totally is by the way!!! However reading until you and the author capturing Jared's perspective was absolutely wonderful. Although this is the story from jareds p.o.v it isnt a retelling, you find out new things that Tate didnt see or wasnt around for. Storytelling at its best. Thoroughly enjoying the fall away series and to know we get to read madoc and jaxsons story is going to be just as thrilling... Can't wait... A new favorite author :)

Penelope Douglas is the bomb y'all! Normally I can't stand reading the male perspective because it always just ends being a regurgitation of the original story. Not the case here. Jared has so much shit going on that you never knew about in Bully that this really is it's own story. Tate, by far, is in my top 5 for female characters. In a genre inundated with flighty, wishy washy and unnecessarily overly dramatic young female leads, it's refreshing to read about Tate who stands strong and sure. I love her. I love Jared. Great job Penelope!

I always hesitate when reading another point of view if books that I live. Most of the time, you will only get about 20% additional content and 80% repeat if the same story. Thus is not the case at all in Until You.

Seeing how tortured Jared was enlightening. You get to experience their love through his eyes and see into his mind and live his experiences. I felt every tortured emotion. What a wonderful ride Pen we like Douglas took us on. Great great fantastic book.

Loved this book better then bully. Explains so much more amd how he really felt for her and we understood why he pushed every one away. It still doesnt give him a right to be ao mean to her but he definitely redeemed himself in alot of situations. Wish we could of got this POV in the first book bc i would of loved the series so much more

This book was a major pleaser.. absolutely loved it. Penelope defiantly got not only an awesome second book that was as good as the first book but a totally second pov that told the same story but from another set of eyes. It answered alot of the questions that was from the first book bully. This series touched on a good deal of school problems and actually triedto touch on sensitive abuse at home. I can not wait on the next books. I hope penelope does keep the story going in the others. You will not regret this series at all.. loved it

Sigh....Usually a POV book bores me because I feel like I'm re-reading the same story, but this was a treat! There was so much left out of Bully that Tate didn't know and I loved finding out more. This and Bully have now claimed my all-time favorite books off all time title! I savored this book and didn't want it to end. So don't want to say goodbye to these two and hate that I have to wait till the summer for more :(

Oh my.. hell yes. This was everything I wanted, needed, and more. I fell in love with Tate and Jared in Bully and did many happy dances knowing I was going to get Jared's story as well. It's not always pretty but his story helps understand his push and pull with Tate. And yes he totally redeems himself. I'm pumped to hear more of their story as well as the other characters in the Fall Away Series and will be impatiently waiting #2..... Rock on Penelope Douglas you've got me hooked.
