The Power of the Book Buzz

Holy Shamoly!! This book was awesome. The hype really is deserved when it comes to The Hating Game. The characters, the storyline, the sizzling tension and the banter makes this one of the best books of 2016. I even did one of those giddy sit up straight, clap my hands and look around for someone to smile at, goofy faces. Come on, don’t deny it you do something similar...don't you? I finished it ran to my computer and now I’m trying to be smart and witty at nearly 11:00 pm. There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I can even come close to doing this story justice.

So, all I’m going to say about it is this…Happy dances, hearts aflutter, a few chuckles, maybe a sniffle, is it getting hot in here, the heroine is quirky without being silly AND the hero is tall, good looking with dark hair. You guessed it - Hello Mr Gandy, welcome to your casting call.

Honestly, I went into reading this one completely blind and being led by my book world friends. It really worked for me. I can even admit that at first, I thought, bugger, their silly banter could get old. But soon, I was dying to know what Mr Gandy…I mean Joshua, is really thinking. Could they really hate each other this much? If they really hate each other, why would they step into the line of fire to save each other? Nope, I’m not going to say anymore.

Joshua is going onto my favourite book boyfriends shelve…right near the top. He does the brooding, dark and gloomy so well and yet he also does the sweet, completely bamboozled by love, just as well.

Considering this is Sally Thorne’s debut novel she has done an outstanding job. Let’s hope she’s got a backlog of books that she’s been waiting to get published. Fingers crossed.
