Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman hate each other. Both are Co Executive Assistant to a publishing company Co Ceo and now must complete for a promotion. Lucy cannot understand Joshua’s joyless uptight attitude and he is baffled with her bright and always helpful attitude. As they both continue to play their games, they realize there is something building between them, but is that another game they’re playing? And who will come out victorious?
Looking for a cute, fast and easy to read RomCom? The Hating Game delivers. I enjoyed the banter between Lucy and Joshua, the games were fun to read through and interesting to see how they both soften towards each other.
I liked how it took placed within a publishing company, I’m a sucker for character who love and breathe books. The tension between Josh and Lucy was funny and felt very real as I read it. Their relationship evolved gradually and with the usual bumps and glides that an authentic one usually has. Love them.
Lucy was a semi-likeable character. I found her somewhat annoying in some scenes but she grew on me towards the end of the book as she became more assured of herself. Love a great character ARC. Makes the book feel more real and true.
Overall, The Hating Game was a sweet read and great debut for the author!
You can buy or Borrow, but totally recommend of you’re in the mood for a light read.
With Love, 💛💛

I totally agree that she could sometimes be annoying but I loved this book! One of my favorites I’ve read in 2018.

yeah, but it didnt totally distract from the overall feel of the book. And it’s getting a movie. I wonder if it will live up to the cuteness of the book.
