Tucked away in the mountains last week, I devoured The Hating Game by Sally Thorne. I had a coffee. I had an Adirondack chair. I had a view. I had this fun, humorous, and tension-filled book.

The main character, Lucy, is nice. Her office mate and nemesis, Josh, is not. However, he is annoyingly handsome and smart and makes her life miserable by competing with her at every turn.

I think you know what happens…

In real life, the enemies who are really in love with each other is never a thing. Usually, it makes me roll my eyes. However…in this book…I kind of dug it.

This read is hot and funny, despite any problematic tropes. I read it in like two hours and immediately wanted to start it again.
