The Hating Game

Published last year, this is Sally Thorne's debut novel.  I picked it up earlier this year and LOVED it, and decided to reread it this week when I was in the mood for a fun contemporary romance novel.  I wanted to listen to the audiobook and was disappointed to find that there doesn't appear to be one available on Amazon, so I picked up the paperback instead - I bought myself a copy because I loved it so much the first time around.  Once again, I flew through this and couldn't put it down!

This book is super funny, full of witty banter and characters that you just want to smack upside of the head and say "get on with it already!"  It's a hate-to-love with a bit of insta-love thrown in, but I couldn't bring myself to care about the obvious tropes here when it was done so well - I was there for it!  The romance was hot and I really came to care for the characters.  It was also great to read a book set in the publishing industry, although I'm sure it's not AT ALL realistic!  More Sally Thorne books please!  If possible, I loved this even more the second time around - 5 stars.
