I devoured this book in one day and enjoyed every second of it. What I liked:⁣•likeable characters ⁣•build up, aka: no instaromance⁣•just the right amount of conflict- sometimes romance can make me feel that there was no real “plot” but Thorne did a great job with this⁣•perfect amount of “steam” ⁣•great comedic writing- there were times I snorted out loud ⁣⁣Why not a 5/5? I tend to reserve 5s for books that 1. I really freaking love and 2.

The Hating Game was just what I needed. It's a hate-to-love office romance full of hilarious banter and sexual tension. What more could you want?My favorite thing about this book was Lucy's narrative. Most of the things she said had me grinning like a loon.When Gamin Publishing and Bexley Books merged it pit Lucy Hutton - assistant to the CEO of Gamin Publishing - and Joshua Templeman - assistant to the CEO of Bexley Books - against one other. From the moment they met they’ve hated each other so they spend their days trying to one-up the other through games such as The Mirror Game, The Staring Game, The HR Game and The Hating Game.The announcement of a promotion to COO only serves to further escalate the tension between them.I absolutely loved the banter between Josh and Lucy. They both gave as good as they got and I just couldn't get enough of them.If you're in the mood for an entertaining romantic comedy then look no further!

Lucy and Joshua are coworkers that "hate" each other on the surface, but secretly pine for each other underneath each's animosity-filled office persona.I was hooked on this book from chapter 1!! I giggled and took delight in the little games they each play - think the antics of Dwight and Jim from "The Office" TV show, but with a more flirtatious undertone. Lucy is quirky, silly, and hysterically amusing. The entertaining dialogue between her and Joshua was addicting, playful, and lined with so much angst I wanted to yell: JUST DO IT ALREADY!!! The transition from hate to attraction to lust to love was so much fun that I had trouble putting this book down. And don't think you know what's coming. The ending had a turn of events I wasn't expecting, and made me fall even harder for Joshua.JUST READ THIS BOOK!I'm marking it as one of my favorite books of 2018!!5 STARS!!!

This book has sat on my TBR for ages. No idea why. But I'm glad I cracked it when I did, after being well and truly shut of all the crap I've had to choose from lately.Ms. Thorne isn't a writer, she's an author. Yes, there is actually a difference.The book was amazing. The single POV narrated by the heroine was perfect. The heroine, Lucy and hero, Josh were well-developed and there wasn't a lot of background noise generated by the secondaries. The plot was just straightforward with no unnecessary drama, and best of all, it didn't revolve around sex. The couple doesn't even get to that point until somewhere in the last 20% of the book!And those scenes when they happened were all the more meaningful because they were so beautifully written.This book was crafted with maturity and class, and there is do little of that out there nowadays in the way of conteporary fiction.The Hating Game was fun, frustrating and full of feels and from 92% on I was wiping tears. That NEVER happens. Lucy's showdown with Josh's dad was epic and Josh's reaction had me simultaneously laughing and crying. The same with the couple's declarations a bit further on.What a heartwarmer this was.Best book I've read in almost 2 years, hands down.Bravo, Ms. Thorne. Now publish another one, please!All the stars. I'd give it 10 if I could.
