Unworthy

Unperfect, Book 2

By: Susie Tate

Narrated by: Zara Hampton-Brown, Shane East

Unreliable, irresponsible, unpredictable, unaccountable—Yaz knows how her family views her.

She was never like them, though. Never academic enough, never serious enough, never really good enough.

He was different. Heath was the one who stuck up for Yaz when she was a child. As her brother's best friend and ten years older, he had been her hero—always defending her to her family, always seeing the best in her—he made her feel worthy of approval.

As her childhood adoration morphed into full-blown teenage love for her idol, and Heath grew from the good-looking boy she knew to the devastatingly handsome emergency department doctor he is today, his attitude seemed to change. For some reason, her quirks went from charming to annoying—her alternative worldview from refreshing to ridiculous. In fact, there are a lot of things about her that Heath seems to now find ridiculous:

"You look ridiculous, Midge."

"All this alternative therapy crap is a ridiculous waste of time."

"Your obsession with windsurfing is getting ridiculous."

"That ridiculous bike of yours is a bloody health hazard. When are you going to grow up and get a car?"

Having gone from worthy to unworthy in Heath's eyes, Yaz convinces herself that his cruelty has killed her childhood crush. After one humiliation too many, she finally cuts ties altogether. By the time Heath starts to see all that he could lose, it might be too late. Maybe it's not Yaz who's the unworthy one after all?

Unworthy is a full-length brother's best friend, secret crush, unrequited love, enemies-to-lovers contemporary romance.

This one might be my favorite in the series

Yaz and Heath story is beautiful which we knew was coming from book 1. I was so proud of Yaz standing up for herself especially to her family, how she didn't do it before is beyond me. I am so proud of her not just giving in and forgiving Heath right away. I understood why Heath was the way he was, but it was still no excuse to treating Yaz the way he did. I cried more in this story understanding how Yaz emotions and being torn down. It was also great to understand how much healing Heath needed. Amazing writing, Amazing Narration. 👏🏾

What an idiot lol

Jeez Louise, Heath got on my NERVES! How many times can one person put their foot in their mouth? I spent at least half the book thinking “What an idiot!” Overall it was good, and the narrators were awesome as always, but dang. I didn’t know I could feel so much second hand embarrassment/anger from a fictional character.

Amazing story & performance

I’ve absolutely fell in love with this series! Shane East is definitely one of my favorite narrators!!!

Great premise but irritating FMC

I so wanted to love this book. The MMC was perfection but I wish he had just thrown in the towel and found someone else. The FMC was one of the most annoyingly stubborn characters I have EVER read. Immature, selfish, and a huge whiner.

excellent

this story was funny, emotional and exasperating. loved the highs and lows it took me on.

Touching, Well written

I really loved Yaz. She is a great character in this book and the one before. I wasn't sure about the hero, but Tate keeps him from being a total tosser as secrets come out.

Susie Tate writes the BEST groveling 😆

Susie Tate could hold a master class on men who grovel. Heath was such an ass to my beautiful summer-child, Yaz. We glimpsed it in Book 1, and he REALLY went for it in Unworthy.

Thankfully, we finally got some insight into his mindset and how much he adored Yaz, which made forgiving him easier. Of course, he had to do some groveling beforehand. (Thank you, Susie.) I was concerned that Yaz, with her pacifist lifestyle, would immediately forgive Heath’s dickish behavior, but that didn’t happen!

Unworthy didn’t emotionally wreck me like Unperfect did (so thanks again, Susie). It’ll had its own brand of yearning, which was delightfully angsty. And we got to see Max and Mia again, which was fun because Shane East did Max’s awesome accent 🫠

🎧 OMG, Zara and Shane are so damn good together. I just need them to narrate all of my British characters, please and thank you ☺️

TLDR: Angsty British romance with his best friend’s little sister.

Great series!

Book two of the series is amazing. I literally wanted to kick Heath in the shin for being such as “wanker!” The narrators were brilliant! I can’t wait to bring book 3.

Yaz and Heath!

Love Susie Tate’s books! Been waiting months for this one to come out. So worth it. The narrators bring it to life.

Yeah Yaz

Such a journey I almost thought Yaz and Heath would never be- he didn’t deserve her and she let him know this at every turn. Yaz is resilient, honest, hardworking and navigates unrequited love in such a raw and unforgiving way. Heath comes across as an educated, professional but typical idiot unaware of his feelings so it seems until pieces of a painful childhood surface shedding light on his amour and stupid list. I love Yaz for choosing herself in the midst of disappointment and rejection and Heath for not giving up. Great read.
