A Novel Review for The Hating Game by Sally Thorne

The Hating Game

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.



Nemesis (n.) 1) An opponent or rival whom a person cannot best or overcome

My 5 Star Review:


This book deserves a million and one stars. It was outstanding and hilarious.

Lucy and Joshua are my favorite all time characters. They both had me furious and swooning at the same time.

I loved every second of this book and it totally had me smitten!

Outstanding! I would love for there to me a movie from this book! I could read and watch these two all day long.

I loved them both!!!
