The Hating Game by Sally Thorne

The Hating Game by Sally Thorne

Nemesis (n.)
1) An opponent or rival whom a person cannot best or overcome;
2) A person’s undoing;
3) Joshua Templeman.
Lucy Hutton and Joshua Templeman hate each other. Not dislike. Not begrudgingly tolerate. Hate. And they have no problem displaying their feelings through a series of ritualistic passive aggressive maneuvers as they sit across from each other, executive assistants to co-CEOs of a publishing company. Lucy can’t understand Joshua’s joyless, uptight, meticulous approach to his job. Joshua is clearly baffled by Lucy’s overly bright clothes, quirkiness, and Pollyanna attitude.

Now up for the same promotion, their battle of wills has come to a head and Lucy refuses to back down when their latest game could cost her her dream job…But the tension between Lucy and Joshua has also reached its boiling point, and Lucy is discovering that maybe she doesn’t hate Joshua. And maybe, he doesn’t hate her either. Or maybe this is just another game.


Kellee Just got this from the library so I'll check back in once it's read :)

Vicki Willis | 1033 comments I have been on the fence about this one. Am eager to see what others think before deciding if I should read it.


Kellee What a fun read! Finished it in a couple days. I needed a good mushy read after I've been reading lots of intense books! I think I'll check out her next book when it's released in 2018 :)

I found it funny, I liked the exploration of the fine line of hate vs love, and I'm a sucker for books set in publishing or book stores haha. I was grinning for a lot of it!


Janina (sylarana) | 692 comments Haven't started this yet, but I'm planning to read this as soon as I'm (finally) done with the one I'm currently reading. I've been traveling with even less time than usual for reading :(


Janina (sylarana) | 692 comments Just finished this. I breezed through this within 24hrs staying up way too late in order to keep on reading. Such a fun, lovely book! A bit predictable, but it's not a murder mystery, so I don't care. I loved it!


Savanes | 2107 comments I'm glad you loved it Janina. I did too. I think it was best chickflit I read in a long time.
