[7] Release [ edit ] First impressions will not always be as we expect them to be because not everyone is the same. First impressions are one-of-a-kind experiences that have different impacts on different persons; These two are so ADORKABLE together. Their banter, their stupid fights and games, their flirting, gah . . . their dynamics is everything! Being in their presence is so addictive. I couldn’t wipe the grin off my face even if I tried. They are so much fun to hang around I never wanted this book to end! Monday to Friday, he turns me into a scary-looking woman. I look like a g* fortune-teller screaming about your imminent death. A crazed lunatic in an asylum, seconds from clawing her own eyes out.

Lucy sends Josh a note saying “I want you for more than your body.” Josh replies with “Glad to hear it.” Lucy then calls Josh and tells him she’s bored (implying she wants to come over), and he says “Better come over then.”Both love and hate are mirror versions of the same game-and you have to win. Why? Your heart and your ego.” This is my favorite Sally Thorne novel and it’s also at my top ten all my favorite romance books list! Whenever I feel anxious, sad, tired, I reread this book to brighten my mood and enjoy every second of it! This is my favorite book I've read this summer. Debut novelist Sally Thorne positions herself as the next Sophie Kinsella in this sassy, sexy romance that brings new energy to the trite enemies-turned-lovers narrative.' - Cristina Arreola, Bustle

Everything seems to get worse between Lucy and Josh when they find out one of them will be the other boss. But the dynamic between them changes again with an earth shattering kiss. The Hating Game gets all the praise in the world. I wanted to see what's up, why is this book so popular, why does everyone love it so much. I found out it had a hate/love relationship plus an enemies to lovers trope as well. I loved those ones so so much.

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. We have also good news that BCDF Pictures turned this amazing novel into a movie and it’s in post production now. I don’t know the probable release date but I’m excited to see Pretty Little Liars’ Lucy Hale as Lucy Hutton and Austin Stowell as Joshua Templeman!
