Hate to Love Ships/ Top 5 Wednesday

🌈  💌 Hate to Love Ships/ Top 5 Wednesday- June 28th  😍 💖

These are the relationships that start with the love interests hating each other and then they start to love each other overtime. This post contains spoilers from three movies, two books, and one tv show. So be prepared. Also these are not in any order.

Top 5 Wednesday is a group created by Lainey of Ginger Reads Lainey on Booktube and is now hosted by Sam of Thoughts on Tomes on Booktube. Here is a link to the group on Goodreads if you are interested in joining.:

5.) Jake and Melanie from Sweet Home Alabama: So my first in this list is from one of my favorite

movies. Both Jake and Melanie like each other as children but grow to hate each other into adulthood. Melanie goes back home to Alabama when she is trying to get married. She finds out that she is still married to her ex-husband Jake and goes home to finish the divorce. This is one of my favorite relationships and I just have always loved how they go from really despising each other to loving each other by the end. A great movie and romance. 

4.) Lena and Kostos from The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares: 

They do not completely hate each other at the beginning of their love story but Lena does not like Kostos at the beginning of the first book in the series based on what she hears about him. Slowly over the course of the novel they fall in love learning about each other. This was one of my first relationships I rooted for so hard. I loved them and this series more than any other contemporary. 

3.) Belle and the Beast from Beauty and the Beast: So this is also a movie but there is a book that this is based on but I have never read it. The relationship between Belle and the Beast starts with both not being friendly at all to each other. Yeah, they hate each other, Belle is his captive and he is her captor. Slowly they begin a friendship and then they become something so much more. 

2.) Pacey and Joey from Dawson's Creek: Pacey and Joey is one of my top OTPs of all time. I love them so much. I grew up on Dawson's Creek and watched Pacey and Joey fall in love over the course of the series. They were endgame for me the whole time. I wanted nothing more than for them to be together. They began with banter, became friends, and slowly fell in love. It was beyond sweet and I still cannot help but smile when I am just thinking about them. Their banter is my favorite part of their relationship. 
Dawson, man you never had a chance. Thank god. :) 

My favorite episode of the show: 6.15 "Castaways".

1.) Simon and Baz from Carry On by Rainbow Rowell: This is one of my favorite novels and is definitely my favorite by Rainbow Rowell. Simon and Baz are based loosely off of Harry and Draco from the Harry Potter series. In this book Simon and Baz start out being enemies. They are each watching each other closely and Baz even wants to kill Simon. As the book continues we find out that this "hate" that they have for each other is more of a love. This is one of my favorite couples. 

Honorable Mention: Cher and Josh from Clueless: I have added in Cher and Josh to this list because I really do adore their relationship and just felt that this would not be a list of my favorite Hate to Love Ships without them. The movie begins with them not hating each other but also not really liking each other. Over the course of the movie we see their relationship grow and they are just so darn cute. Love them so much.
