The Hating Game: A Novel

Product Information

Por fin leí uno de los libros que más hype tiene en el mundo lector! ¡Y no me decepcionó! De hecho, amé The Hating Game. Fue ese romance de enemies to lovers gracioso y sin muchas pretensiones que necesitaba en mi vida. Now a movie starring Lucy Hale and Austin Stowell, USA Today bestselling author Sally Thorne’s hilarious and sexy workplace comedy all about that thin, fine line between hate and love. Lucy goes out with Danny and kisses him, but there are no sparks. She drives to Josh’s house and he invites her in. She snoops through his things and they hold hands, but he says they cannot have sex yet. The next day, Josh does not come to work. Lucy goes to his house afterwards and he makes her dinner and they make out on the couch until he sends her home. The next day, they go to work and get in a fight when Josh makes a comment about the interviews that makes Lucy feel competitive. Ok, so this is the second time I've been disappointed by a contemporary romance audiobook that I loved when I read it. I mean, I finished it in two days and a half so I think that’s my new personal record. It’s been that enjoyable.

The setting of the office romance is more than a bit cringe. Does anyone seriously find aggressively corporate Chads hot? Well, judging by how many copies this book has sold, I guess so. And now for some peak! romance quotes. That hurt my feelings, quite frankly. Well, this whole book did. 🥲 I just don't even know what this means, why was this written, why do you want to keep saying this in your novel. I honestly think 'The Hating Game”' is that kind of book anyone would enjoy – wonderfully written is a very entertaining way, griping from the very beginning and perfect if you love enemies to lovers stories. I’ve read many books with this trope, so trust me when I say Sally Thorne’s debut novel was a great one. More than great actually. It was fabulous! It was fan, entertaining and so refreshing. Needless to say, I devoured this little gem from start to finish. Re-read 9/27/18: Welp arcs of 99 Percent Mine dropped on Edelweiss so I HAD to re-read this and hi hello I still love these two jerks so damn much wow. I’m a puddle.Debut author Sally Thorne bursts on the scene with a hilarious and sexy workplace comedy all about that thin, fine line between hate and love. YOU GO GIRL!!! I loved that Lucy defended Josh and told his father the things he never could! She was like a fierce lioness and I was soo damn proud of her!!! She kind of reminded me of myself when someone hurts my family and friends. *lol* Boy, I can be at least as fierce as her. Don’t let that nice smile deceive you, at night I fly either on a broom or a wyvern. ;-P The Hating Game is bursting at the seams with love (and hate) and heart‘ Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of The Unhoneymooners This time around I will admit that the she doesn't realize he loves her stuff at the end seemed far more annoying. It was obvious that he cared about her and there was absolutely no reason for her to freak out. Like...none. While I would have liked a few chapters from Josh's POV, I enjoyed Lucy's narrative so much! She was such a sweet and funny and adorable person, and you could understand her reservations and her fears!

Sally Thorne really, really flopped with this book. This book was so bad that I'm questioning if The Hating Game is even as good as I remember it. This book is a HOT mess and I don't know where to begin. It’s rather hurtful to only be wanted for my body. I didn’t even get the date beforehand.” He looks down at our hands again. And you know, personally, I don’t like sweat. It’s quite . . . gross. It’s normal, of course, but gross. Josh was working out, so Lucy says “I want to see you all sweaty.” She gets to his apartment and sees him, then she runs up to him and smells him, describing his sweat as “[rainwater and cedar], leaving a faint rosemary-pine tingle in my nostrils.” At any rate, I ran across this in my ongoing quest to find funny romances that make my heart go pitty-pat.

Customer reviews

I love the energy we create between us when we banter like this. It’s the most intense sensation of pleasure, knowing he’ll always have the perfect response ready. I’ve never known anyone like him; as addictive to talk to as he is to kiss.”

I was torn between the two, but this is indeed a pretty accurate explanation of what was ratting in my head during this book. Also, I had a massive issue with the 2008-brand of massive overprotectiveness these characters sported. Darcy had this insane daydream that Tom was a giant, imaginary wolf who protected her and she brought this up multiple times throughout the book pret The film was announced in May 2019, with Lucy Hale and Robbie Amell cast as the lead roles. [4] On November 10, 2020, Austin Stowell was cast, as Amell dropped out due to a scheduling conflict. It began filming on November 21, in New York City, during the COVID-19 pandemic. [5] [6] The film concluded on December 23, 2020. [7] Release [ edit ] I'm so tired of this dynamic. And Lucy is cute in a way that I finally understand why people hate Zooey Deschanel's characters. It's overwhelming. Suffocating. Lucy is like Jess from New Girl on steroids. She says silly things that no one would say in real life because they have mental filters. Lucy's date with Danny clearly didn't go well. Danny kissed her, but she didn't like it, so Josh won. She's now at his apartment, telling him this, admitting it, yada yada. As Lucy is about to leave, this is their conversation:I think about what kind of girls he probably dates. Tall, cool blondes. I feel it in my tiny undersized brunette bones." This just screams the "I'm not like other girls he has dated" trope which I hate. And very girl vs girl personality she has. She doesn't hate women, Lucy I mean, but she is always thinking like the girls Joshua would have dated or dated before her and they were always "blonde and tall and beautiful and nothing like her." This bothers me so much. So what the hell does it matter if they were blonde? Being blonde doesn't mean anything and you are just stereotyping people, Lucy. Come on, be better. My original review of this is from 2016, and contains many Disney GIFs and mentions of myself grinning and also open yearning. Koehler, Mimi (January 2, 2022). "Movie Review: The Hating Game".
