The Hating Game: A Novel

Product Information

We sweep around a corner. Annabelle turns from the photocopier and almost drops her papers. “What’s happening?” Lucy Hutton has always been certain that the nice girl can get the corner office. She’s charming and accommodating and prides herself on being loved by everyone at Bexley & Gamin. Everyone except for coldly efficient, impeccably attired, physically intimidating Joshua Templeman. And the feeling is mutual.

This book is so cute. It's the perfect combination of sexy and cute and fun. This book is like a sexier version of Attachments by Rainbow Rowell, which is one of my all time favorite books. THANK YOU to Stephanie for recommending this book to me, I freaking loved it. This book is light and fluffy and it's the perfect romantic comedy! I kept picturing Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone as the leads in this for some reason (probably because I love their chemistry and I could see them playing these characters in a movie version of this.) It was obvious from the start that Lucy was going to be the goody-two-shoes, sunshine-y girl who does everything with energy and enthusiasm and is addicted to the fact that everyone must love her and Josh was the mean fancy-ass jerk that was going to mess with her constantly and she was going to catch on fire because he was the only person who seemed to not like her. How You Doing, Little Lucy?” His bright tone and mild expression indicates we’re playing a game we almost never play. It’s a game called How You Doing? and it basically starts off like we don’t hate each other. We act like normal colleagues who don’t want to swirl their hands in each other’s blood. It’s disturbing.

Because, in the scheme of things, this book going from a 4.5 star read rounded up to a 3 star read is not all that consequential.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! Since the second day of B and G. The first day was a bit of a blur. I’ve always meant to compile some stats. Sorry. Saying it aloud sounds insane.” More bizarre quotes: "His sweat smells like rainwater and cedar, leaving a faint rosemary-pine tingle in my nostrils." Wow I didn't know sweat smelled like rainwater and apples and rainbows and flowers and Lucy is always smelling Josh 24/7. This reminded to SJM books *cough* you all know how she loves to say how male someone is or how male this situations is lmao and include scents to every single male character that appears in those books. So I believe The Hating Game has that kind of writing in mind.

Now a film starring Lucy Hale and Austin Stowell, globally bestselling author Sally Thorne’s hilarious workplace comedy is all about the fine line between love and hate. 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.”Is there, like, a German word for “the experience of when something is not extremely disappointing, but it is the eleven millionth small disappointment in a year of disappointments of varying sizes and thus threatens to topple your well-being entirely”?
